,,Ona by'la tvoya!`` sheptal mne vecher maya
Language: Russian (Русский)
,,Ona by'la tvoya!`` sheptal mne vecher maya,
Draznila dolgo pesnya solov`ya,
Teper` on zamolchal, i e`ta noch` nemaya
Mne shepchet vnov`: ,,ona by'la tvoya!``
Kak list`ya topolej v siyan`i serebristom,
Merczaet proshloe, pogibshee davno;
O nyom mne govoryat i zvezdy' v nebe chistom,
I zapax rezedy', vorvavshejsya v okno.
I nekuda bezhat`, i muchit noch` nemaya,
Risuya [mily'ya]1 znakomy'ya cherty' ...
O, ne zabvennaya, o, vechno dorogaya,
Otkliknis` otzovis`, skazhi mne: gde zhe ty'?
Vot vidish`: bez tebya mne zhit` nevy'nosimo,
YA iznemog, ya vy'bilsya iz sil;
Obidy', gore, zlo - ya vse zaby'l, prostil,
Odna lyubov` vo mne gorit neugasimo!
Daj pody'shat` s toboj mne vozduxom odnim,
Otkliknis`, otzovis`, yavis` xot` na mgnoven`e,
A tam puskaj opyat` xot` gody' zatochen`ya
S mogil`ny'm xolodom svoim!
