Ya plakal na zare, kogda pomerkli dali, Kogda stelila noch` rosistuyu postel`, I s shepotom volny' ry'dan`ya zamirali, I gde-to vdaleke im vtorila svirel`. Skazala mne volna: «Naprasno my' toskuem», -- I, sbrosiv, svoj pokrov, zary'las` v berega, A bledny'j serp luny' xolodny'm poceluem S uly'bkoj zastudil mne slezy' v zhemchuga. I ya prines tebe, czarevne yasnookoj, Korally' slez moix pechali odinokoj I nezhnuyu vual` iz pennosti volny'. No serdce xmel`noe lyubvi moej ne rado... Otdaj zhe mne za vse, chego ne nado, Otdaj mne poceluj za poceluj luny'.
