by Boris Nikolayevich Timofeyev-Yeropkin (1899 - 1963)

Karavan
Language: Russian (Русский) 
My stranno vstretilis' i stranno razojdëmsja,
Ulybkoj nežnosti roman okončen naš.
I esli pamjat'ju k prošedšemu vernëmsja,
To skažem: «Ėto byl miraž».

Pripev:
  Tak inogda v tainstvennoj pustyne               
  Mel'kajut obrazy dalëkich, čudnych stran.
  No ėto prizraki, i snova nebo sine,
  I vdal' idët ustalyj karavan.

I my, kak putniki, obmanuty miražem,
Te sny nevernye ne v silach ubereč'.
My nikogda drug drugu ne rasskažem
Vsju tajnu našich vstreč.

(Pripev)

Pust' vperedi vsë prizračno, tumanno,
Kak našich čuvstv stremitel'nyj obman.
My stranno vstretilis', i ty ujdeš' neždanno,
Kak v put' uchodit karavan.

(Pripev)
