by Viktor Aleksandrovich Krylov (1838 - 1908)

Tajna
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ja tajny moej ne skažu nikomu,
JA v serdce zaprjaču eë,
Tak mnogo ja tajnoj moej dorožu;
V nej radost' i sčast'e moë.

No stranno: znat' serdce moë bez ključa,
Ne zaperto vidno ničem 
I kažetsja tajnu moju sgorjača
Gotov ja sam vyskazat' vsem.

Učast'e mne nužno, učast'e druzej,
Za tem ja choču razskazat'
Čto na serdce v tajne chranitsja moej,
Ob čëm by ja dolžen molčat'.

Teper' že minuty mečtan'ja lovlju,
Čtob kratkoe sčast'e vkusit'.
Druz'ja! ja ljublju, ja ljublju, ja ljublju,
Izvol'te že tajnu chranit'!
