by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Pojot zima ‑ aukajet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  CHI
Pojot zima - aukajet,
Mokhnatyj les bajukajet
   Stozvonom sosnjaka.
Krugom s toskoj glubokoju
Plyvut v stranu dalekuju
   Sedye oblaka.

A po dvoru metelica
Kovrom shelkovym steletsja,
   No bol'no kholodna.
Vorobyshki igrivye,
Kak detki sirotlivye,
   Prizhalis' u okna. 

Ozjabli ptashki malye,
Golodnye, ustalye,
   I zhmutsja poplotnej.
A v'juga s revom beshenym
Stuchit po stavnjam sveshennym
   I zlitsja vse sil'nej. 

I dremljut ptashki nezhnye
Pod `eti vikhri snezhnye
   U merzlogo okna.
I snitsja im prekrasnaja,
V ulybkakh solnca jasnaja
   Krasavica vesna.
