by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Est` odna xoroshaya pesnya u solovushki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Est` odna xoroshaya pesnya u solovushki -
Pesnya panixidnaya po moej golovushke.

Czvela - zabubennaya, rosla - nozhevaya,
A teper` vdrug svesilas`, slovno nezhivaya.

Dumy' moi, dumy'! Bol` v viskax i temeni.
Promotal ya molodost` bez pory', bez vremeni.

Kak sluchilos`-stalos`, sam ne ponimayu.
Noch`yu zhestkuyu podushku k serdczu prizhimayu.

Lejsya, pesnya zvonkaya, vy'lej trel` uny'luyu.
V temnote mne kazhetsya - obnimayu miluyu.

Za oknom garmonika i siyan`e mesyacza.
Tol`ko znayu - milaya nikogda ne vstretitsya.

E`x, lyubov`-kalinushka, krov` - zarya vishnevaya,
Kak gitara staraya i kak pesnya novaya.

S temi zhe uly'bkami, radost`yu i mukami,
Chto pevalos` dedami, to poyotsya vnukami.

Pejte, pojte v yunosti, bejte v zhizn` bez promaxa -
Vsyo ravno lyubimaya otczvetet cheremuxoj.

YA otczvel, ne znayu gde. V p`yanstve, chto li? V slave li?
V molodosti nravilsya, a teper` ostavili.

Potomu xoroshaya pesnya u solovushki,
Pesnya panixidnaya po moej golovushke.

Czvela - zabubennaya, by'la - nozhevaya,
A teper` vdrug svesilas`, slovno nezhivaya.
