Akh, russkij, russkij, dlja chego
Language: Russian (Русский)
Akh, russkij, russkij, dlja chego, Ne znaja serdca tvojego, Tebe navek ja predalasja! [Ne dolgo na grudi tvojej V zabven'e deva otdykhala; Ne mnogo radostnykh nochej Sud'ba na dolju jej poslala! Pridut li vnov' kogda-nibud'? Uzhel' navek pogibla radost'?..]1 Ty mog by, plennik, obmanut' Moju neopytnuju mladost', Khotja b iz zhalosti odnoj, Molchan'em, laskoju pritvornoj; Ja uslazhdala b zhrebij tvoj Zabotoj nezhnoj i pokornoj; Ja steregla b minuty sna, Pokoj toskujushchego druga; Ty ne khotel... [No kto zh ona, Tvoja prekrasnaja podruga? Ty ljubish', russkij? ty ljubim?. Ponjatny mne tvoi stradan'ja... Prosti zh i ty moi rydan'ja, Ne smejsja gorestjam moim.]1
