by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Pamyat` o solnce v serdce slabeet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE ITA
Pamyat` o solnce v serdce slabeet,
Zheltej trava.
Veter snezhinkami rannimi veet
Edva-edva.

V uzkix kanalax uzhe ne struitsya - 
Sty'net voda.
Zdes` nikogda nichego ne sluchitsya, - 
O, nikogda!

Iva na nebe pustom rasplastala
Veer skvoznoj.
Mozhet by't`, luchshe, chto ya ne stala
Vashej zhenoj.

Pamyat` o solnce v serdce slabeet.
Chto e`to? T`ma? 
Mozhet by't`! Za noch` prijti uspeet
Zima.
