by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Griboyedov (1790?5? - 1829)

Ax, tochno l` nikogda ej v persyax bezmyatezhny'x
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ax, tochno l` nikogda ej v persyax bezmyatezhny'x
Zhelan`e tajnoe ne volnovalo krov`?
Eshhyo ne svedala toski, tomlenij nezhny'x?
Eshhyo ne znaet pro lyubov`?

Ax! tochno li nikto, schastlivecz, ne sy'skalsya,
Ej drug? po serdczu ej? kotory'j by' sgoral
V ob``yatiyax eyo? v nix negoj upivalsya
Roskoshstvoval i obmiral?..

Net, net! Kuda vlekus` nerobkimi mechtami?
Tot drug, tot izbranny'j: on gde-nibud`, on est`.
Lyubvi volshebstvo! raj! vostorgi! trepet! - Vami,
Net! - ne moej dushe proczvest`.
