Ax, zachem tvoi glazki poroyu
Na menya tak surovo glyadyat
I tomit moyu dushu toskoyu
Tvoj xolodny'j, nelaskovy'j vzglyad,

Tvoj xolodny'j, nelaskovy'j vzglyad?

Bez uly'bki i v gordom molchan`i
Ty' proxodish` kak ten` predo mnoyu,
I, v dushe zataivshi stradan`e,
YA revnivo slezhu za toboyu,

Revnivo slezhu za toboyu.

Ty' lyubov`yu svoej ozaryala,
Kak vesnoj, moi grustny'e dni.
Prilaskaj zhe menya, kak by'valo,
Laskoj proch` moyu grust` otgoni.

Prilaskaj zhe menya, kak by'valo,
Laskoj proch` moyu grust` otgoni.
Zachem zhe tvoi glazki poroyu
Na menya tak surovo, tak surovo glyadyat.
