by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810 - 1866)

Ne dolgo nam guljat ruka s rukoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne dolgo nam guljat ruka s rukoj
V sadu gustom, po lipovym allejam,
Pri bleske zvezd, vecherneju poroj,
I zhizn' raznezhennoj, dushoj
Blagodarit' za vsjo, chto my imejem.

Ne dolgo nam pod obajan'em snov,
Kak molodost' igrivykh i letuchikh,
Sledja lunu v izgibakh oblakov,
Mechtat' o tom, chemu net slov,
No chto zhivjot v dushakh u nas kipuchikh.
O, milyj drug! [Ne dolgo nam cvesti]1
Blazhenstvom chuvstv! za to my dolgo budem
Za nikh sud'be stradan'em dan' nesti
I slova strashnogo: prosti!
My nikogda s toboj ne pozabudem.
