by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Obojmi, poceluj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Obojmi, poceluj,
Prigolub`, prilaskaj,
Eshhyo raz — poskorej —
Poceluj goryachej.
Chto pechal`no glyadish`?
Chto na serdce taish`?
Ne toskuj, ne goryuj,
Iz ochej slyoz ne lej;
Mne ne nadobno ix,
Mne ne nuzhno toski…
[Ne na smert` ya idu,
Ne xoronish` menya.
Na polgoda vsego
My' rasstat`sya dolzhny';
Est` za Volgoj selo
Na krutom beregu:
Tam otecz moj zhivyot,
Tam rodimaya mat`
Sy'na v gosti zovyot;
YA poedu k otczu,
Poklonyusya rodnoj
I soglas`e voz`mu
Obvenchat`sya s toboj.]1
Muchit dushu moyu
Tvoj pechal`ny'j ubor,
Dlya chego ty' v nego
Naryadila sebya?
Razryadis`: uberis`
V svoj naryad goluboj
I na plechi nakin`
Shal` s kajmoj raspisnoj;
[Pust` py'laet liczo,
Kak poutru zarya,
Pust` siyaet lyubov`
Na ustax u tebya;]1
Kak mne milo teper`
Lyubovat`sya toboj!
Kak vesna, xorosha
Ty', nevesta moya!
Obojmi zh, poceluj,
Prigolub`, prilaskaj,
Eshhyo raz — poskorej —
Poceluj goryachej!
