,,Ona byla tvoja!`` sheptal mne vecher maja
Language: Russian (Русский)
,,Ona byla tvoja!`` sheptal mne vecher maja,
Draznila dolgo pesnja solov'ja,
Teper' on zamolchal, i `eta noch' nemaja
Mne shepchet vnov': ,,ona byla tvoja!``
Kak list'ja topolej v sijan'i serebristom,
Mercajet proshloje, pogibsheje davno;
O njom mne govorjat i zvezdy v nebe chistom,
I zapakh rezedy, vorvavshejsja v okno.
I nekuda bezhat', i muchit noch' nemaja,
Risuja [milyja]1 znakomyja cherty ...
O, ne zabvennaja, o, vechno dorogaja,
Otkliknis' otzovis', skazhi mne: gde zhe ty?
Vot vidish': bez tebja mne zhit' nevynosimo,
Ja iznemog, ja vybilsja iz sil;
Obidy, gore, zlo - ja vse zabyl, prostil,
Odna ljubov' vo mne gorit neugasimo!
Daj podyshat' s toboj mne vozdukhom odnim,
Otkliknis', otzovis', javis' khot' na mgnoven'e,
A tam puskaj opjat' khot' gody zatochen'ja
S mogil'nym kholodom svoim!
