Ach, russkij, russkij, dlja čego
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ach, russkij, russkij, dlja čego, Ne znaja serdca tvoego, Tebe navek ja predalasja! [Ne dolgo na grudi tvoej V zabven'e deva otdychala; Ne mnogo radostnych nočej Sud'ba na dolju ej poslala! Pridut li vnov' kogda-nibud'? Užel' navek pogibla radost'?..]1 Ty mog by, plennik, obmanut' Moju neopytnuju mladost', Chotja b iz žalosti odnoj, Molčan'em, laskoju pritvornoj; JA uslaždala b žrebij tvoj Zabotoj nežnoj i pokornoj; JA steregla b minuty sna, Pokoj toskujuščego druga; Ty ne chotel... [No kto ž ona, Tvoja prekrasnaja podruga? Ty ljubiš', russkij? ty ljubim?. Ponjatny mne tvoi stradan'ja... Prosti ž i ty moi rydan'ja, Ne smejsja gorestjam moim.]1
