by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

Chuzhaya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty' chuzhaya, no lyubish`,
Lyubish` tol`ko menya.
Ty' menya ne zabudesh`
Do poslednego dnya.

Ty' pokorno i skromno
Shla za nim ot vencza.
No liczo ty' sklonila –
On ne videl licza.

Ty' s nim zhenshhinoj stala,
No ne devushka l` ty'?
Skol`ko v kazhdom dvizhen`e
Prostoty', krasoty'!

Budut snova izmeny'...
No odin tol`ko raz
Tak zastenchivo svetit
Nezhnost` lyubyashhix glaz.

Ty' i skry't` ne umeesh`,
Chto emu ty' chuzhda...
Ty' menya ne zabudesh`
Nikogda, nikogda!
