by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Ja ulybat'sja perestala
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ja ulybat'sja perestala,
Moroznyj veter guby studit,
Odnoj nadezhdoj men'she stalo,
Odnoju pesnej bol'she budet. 
I `etu pesnju ja nevol'no
Otdam za smekh i porugan'e,
Zatem, chto nesterpimo bol'no
Dushe ljubovnoje molchan'e.
