by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Proply'vayut l`diny', zvenya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Proply'vayut l`diny', zvenya,
Nebesa beznadezhno bledny'.
Ax, za chto ty' karaesh` menya, 
YA ne znayu moej viny'.

Esli nado - menya ubej,
No ne bud` so mnoyu surov.
Ot menya ne xochesh` detej
I ne lyubish` moix stixov.

Vse po-tvoemu budet: pust`!
Obetu verna svoemu,
Otdala tebe zhizn`, no grust`
YA v mogilu s soboj voz`mu.
