Kogda, dusha, prosilas` ty' Pogibnut` il` lyubit`, Kogda zhelan`ya i mechty' V tebe tesnilis` zhit`, Kogda eshhyo ya ne pil slyoz Iz chashi by'tiya, Zachem togda v venke iz roz K tenyam ne otby'l ya! Zachem vy' nachertalis` tak Na pamyati moej, Edinoj molodosti znak, Vy', pesni proshly'x dnej! YA gory', doly' i lesa, I mily'j vzglyad zaby'l; Zachem zhe vashi golosa Mne slux moj soxranil! Ne vozvratite schast`ya mne, Xot` dy'shit v vas ono! S nim v promel`knuvshej starine Prostilsya ya davno. Ne narushajte zh, ya molyu, Vy' sna dushi moej; I slova strashnogo lyublyu Ne povtoryajte ej!
