by Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792 - 1878)

Do svidanija
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Prosti! Kak grustno `eto slovo,
Kogda tverdim jego druz'jam,
S nim serdce vyskochit' gotovo
Il' razorvat'sja popolam.

Kak mnogo skorbi beznadezhnoj,
Kak mnogo slez taitsja v njom!
Zavet razluki neizbezhnoj,
Privychek serdca perelom.

Ono nam podtverzhdajet grozno,
Chto nashe vsjo i my na srok,
Chto v krug nash rano ili pozdno,
A vlomitsja zheleznyj rok.

Chto slovo «vmeste» zdes' ne prochno
Kak «radost'» sinonim jego,
Chto chasto luchsheje zaochno,
Chto smert' jest' zhizni cel' vsego.

Razluka - smert', i smert' - razluka,
Kogda my govorim: «Prosti!» -
Kto serdcu bednomu poruka,
Chto vnov' sojdemsja na puti?

Chto `etot zvuk - zhivoje slovo,
Ne rokovoj, nadgrobnyj gul,
Kotoryj khladno i surovo
Razdalsja v serdce i zasnul!

Chto jest' grjadushcheje v toj rechi,
Chto otgolosok jej gotov
V privete serdcem zhdannoj vstrechi,
Krasnorechivoj i bez slov?

Net, v neizbezhnyj chas proshchan'ja,
Pokoja nojushchuju grud',
My luchshe skazhem: «Do svidan'ja!»
A tam, chto Bog dast, to i bud'.
