by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Ty ‑ kak otzvuk zabytogo gimna
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty - kak otzvuk zabytogo gimna
V mojej chernoj i dikoj sud'be. 
O, Karmen, mne pechal'no i divno,
Chto prisnilsja mne son o tebe. 

Veshnij trepet, i lepet, i shelest,
Neprobudnye, dikije sny,
I tvoja odichalaja prelest' -
Kak gitara, kak buben vesny! 

I prokhodish' ty v dumakh i grezakh,
Kak carica blazhennykh vremen,
S golovoj, utopajushchej v rozakh,
Pogruzhennaja v skazochnyj son. 

Spish', zmejeju sklubjas' prikhotlivoj,
Spish' v durmane i vidish' vo sne
Dal' morskuju i bereg schastlivyj,
I mechtu, nedostupnuju mne. 

Vidish' den' bezzakatnyj i zhguchij
I ljubimyj, rodimyj svoj kraj,
Sinij, sinij, pevuchij, pevuchij,
Nepodvizhno-blazhennyj, kak raj. 

V tom raju tishina bezdykhanna,
Tol'ko v kushche spletennykh vetvej
Divnyj golos tvoj, nizkij i strannyj,
Slavit burju cyganskikh strastej.
