by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Daj ruku mne, sklonis` k grudi poe`ta
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Daj ruku mne, sklonis` k grudi poe`ta,
Svoyu sud`bu soedini s moej:
Kak ty', moj drug, ya ne rozhdyon dlya sveta
I ne umeyu zhit` sredi lyudej.
YA ne imel ni vremya, ni oxoty'
Delit` ix shum, ix melkie zaboty',
Lyubov` moyo vsyo serdce zanyala —
I chto zh, vzglyani na bledny'j czvet chela.

Na nyom ty' vidish` sled strastej usnuvshix,
Tak rano obuyavshix zhizn` moyu.
Ne l`stit mne vspominan`e dnej minuvshix,
YA odinok nad propast`yu stoyu,
Gde vsyo moyo podavleno sud`boyu.
Tak kust rastyot nad bezdnoyu morskoyu,
I list, grozoj oborvanny'j, ply'vyot
Po proizvolu stranstvuyushhix vod.
