Ochi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Chto s prelest'ju jee ochej
V podlunnom mire sem sravnitsja ?
V nebesnom vzore ikh, mne mnitsja, 
Zrju svet bozhestvennykh luchej.
Kogda ne zrju jee ochej,
Nezhnejshej strasti vyrazhen'ja,
Drugogo v zhizni naslazhden'ja
Ne nakhozhu dushe mojej.

Kogda ne zrju jee ochej,
Toska i grust' moj dukh terzajut,
I skorb' moju lish' uslazhdajet 
Izlityj gor'kikh slez ruchej.
Nichto ne zamenit ochej
Tvoikh, Alina nesravnenna!
Dusha ikh vzorom  upojenna, 
Blazhenna uchast'ju svojejju.

Kogda lishus' tvoikh ochej,
Dushi mojej ocharovan'ja,
Jee ljubimogo mechtan'ja
V chasy tainstvennykh nochej,
Moikh ischeznet radost' dnej,
V pustynju mir ves' prevratitsja,
I dukh moj budet vek tomit'sja
Bez angel'skikh tvoikh ochej.
