by Dmitry Petrovich Oznobishin (1804 - 1877)

Jasny ochi, chjorny ochi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Jasny ochi, chjorny ochi,
Mne vas bole ne vidat',
Mne v prijatnom mrake nochi
Ognevykh ne celovat'.

I povadkoj v nege sladkoj
Mne ne pet' ljubvi zaraz;
Slyshu, vse tverdjat ukradkoj:
Gibnet on ot chernykh glaz.

Skvoz' resnicy, kak dennicy,
Blesk vash tomno mne gorel;
Ochi devushki-devicy,
Ja by vek na vas smotrel.

Jasny ochi, cherny ochi,
Vas durnymi l' nazyvat'?
Akh! ja rad by v dni i nochi
Kazhdyj mig vas celovat'.
