by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Ty' ‑ kak otzvuk zaby'togo gimna
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty' - kak otzvuk zaby'togo gimna
V moej chernoj i dikoj sud`be. 
O, Karmen, mne pechal`no i divno,
Chto prisnilsya mne son o tebe. 

Veshnij trepet, i lepet, i shelest,
Neprobudny'e, dikie sny',
I tvoya odichalaya prelest` -
Kak gitara, kak buben vesny'! 

I proxodish` ty' v dumax i grezax,
Kak czaricza blazhenny'x vremen,
S golovoj, utopayushhej v rozax,
Pogruzhennaya v skazochny'j son. 

Spish`, zmeeyu sklubyas` prixotlivoj,
Spish` v durmane i vidish` vo sne
Dal` morskuyu i bereg schastlivy'j,
I mechtu, nedostupnuyu mne. 

Vidish` den` bezzakatny'j i zhguchij
I lyubimy'j, rodimy'j svoj kraj,
Sinij, sinij, pevuchij, pevuchij,
Nepodvizhno-blazhenny'j, kak raj. 

V tom rayu tishina bezdy'xanna,
Tol`ko v kushhe spletenny'x vetvej
Divny'j golos tvoj, nizkij i stranny'j,
Slavit buryu cy'ganskix strastej.
