by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 - 1883)

Sinica
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Slyshu ja: zvenit sinica
Sred' zheltejushchikh vetvej...
Zdravstvuj, malen'kaja ptica,
Vestnica osennikh dnej!

Khot' grozit on nam nenast'em,
Khot' zimy on nam prorok,
Dyshit blagodatnym schast'em
Tvoj veselyj golosok.

Dyshit blagodatnym schast'em
Tvoj veselyj golosok.
V pesenke tvojej privetnoj
Slukh plenen uzheli zh moj

Lish' prirody bezotvetnoj
Ravnodushnoju igroj?
Il' bespechno raspevajet
I v tebe okhota zhit' -

Ta, chto ljudjam pomogajet
Smert' i zhizn' perenosit'?
Ta, chto ljudjam pomogajet
Smert' i zhizn' perenosit'?
