by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810 - 1866)

Смотри: вон облако несётся серебристое
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Смотри: вон облако несётся серебристое;
Везде вокруг него сияет небо чистое,
Как молодость прекрасная твоя.
И утра блеск на нём так ярко отражается;
И так оно светло, как будто улыбается --
Оно похоже на тебя, оно похоже на тебя.

Смотри: вон туча там выходит одинокая;
Она темна, как ночь, как грусть души глубокая -
Не просветлит её сиянье дня...
Быть может оттого она мрачна так грозная,
Что с светлым облаком дана стезя ей розная, --
Она похожа на меня, она похожа на меня.
