by Viktor Aleksandrovich Krylov (1838 - 1908)

Tajna
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ja tajny mojej ne skazhu nikomu,
Ja v serdce zaprjachu jejo,
Tak mnogo ja tajnoj mojej dorozhu;
V nej radost' i schast'e mojo.

No stranno: znat' serdce mojo bez kljucha,
Ne zaperto vidno nichem 
I kazhetsja tajnu moju sgorjacha
Gotov ja sam vyskazat' vsem.

Uchast'e mne nuzhno, uchast'e druzej,
Za tem ja khochu razskazat'
Chto na serdce v tajne khranitsja mojej,
Ob chjom by ja dolzhen molchat'.

Teper' zhe minuty mechtan'ja lovlju,
Chtob kratkoje schast'e vkusit'.
Druz'ja! ja ljublju, ja ljublju, ja ljublju,
Izvol'te zhe tajnu khranit'!
