by Yury Neledinsky-Meletsky (1752 - 1829)

Ty veliš' mne ravnodušnym
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty veliš' mne ravnodušnym
Byt', prekrasnaja, k tebe;
Esli chočeš' zret' poslušnym,
Daj drugoe serdce mne.
Daj mne serdce, čtob umelo,
Znav tebja, svobodnym byt';
Daj takoe, čtob chotelo
Ne odnoj toboju žit'.

To, v kotorom obitaet
Obraz bespodobnyj tvoj,
Serdce, čto toboj stradaet,
To i dvižetsja toboj.
V nëm už čuvstva net drugogo,
I drugoj v nëm žizni net;
Ty vo t'me mučen'ja zlogo -
Žizn', otrada mne i svet!

Vernost' ja l' k tebe narušu?
Pervyj vzdoch moj ty vzjala!
I čto ja imeju dušu,
Ty mne čuvstvovat' dala.
Ty mne dušu, ty vložila,
Tvoj že dar nesu tebe;
No ty žertvy zapretila,
Ne dozvolju ich sebe.

Liš' ne muč' menja, želaja,
Čtob tvoim prestal ja byt';
Čem, v bezmolvii stradaja,
Čem mogu tebja gnevit'?
Razve čtiš' za prestuplen'e
Vzor nebesnyj tvoj uzret',
Im povergnut'sja v smuščen'e
I bez pomošči... terpet'?
