by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Wilhelm Aleksandrovich Sorgenfrei (1882 - 1938)

Nepodvizhny'e zvyozdy'
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Nepodvizhny' v nebe zvyozdy',
Veka i veka podryad
S lyubov`yu i toskoyu
Drug na druga glyadyat.

I rechi vedut chudesny'm,
Bogaty'm yazy'kom,
Tem samy'm, chto luchshim
Filologam ne znakom.

No mne ix rech` ponyatna,
Eyo ya by'stro postig:
Grammatikoj mosluzhil mne
Moej vozlyublennoj lik.

Ax, zvyozdy', protyanite,
Vy' k miloj volshebny'e niti
I skazhite, chto poe`t
Veren ej i shlyot privet.
