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

Obojmi, poceluj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Obojmi, poceluj,
Prigolub', prilaskaj,
Jeshchjo raz — poskorej —
Poceluj gorjachej.
Chto pechal'no gljadish'?
Chto na serdce taish'?
Ne toskuj, ne gorjuj,
Iz ochej sljoz ne lej;
Mne ne nadobno ikh,
Mne ne nuzhno toski…
[Ne na smert' ja idu,
Ne khoronish' menja.
Na polgoda vsego
My rasstat'sja dolzhny;
Jest' za Volgoj selo
Na krutom beregu:
Tam otec moj zhivjot,
Tam rodimaja mat'
Syna v gosti zovjot;
Ja pojedu k otcu,
Poklonjusja rodnoj
I soglas'e voz'mu
Obvenchat'sja s toboj.]1
Muchit dushu moju
Tvoj pechal'nyj ubor,
Dlja chego ty v nego
Narjadila sebja?
Razrjadis': uberis'
V svoj narjad goluboj
I na plechi nakin'
Shal' s kajmoj raspisnoj;
[Pust' pylajet lico,
Kak poutru zarja,
Pust' sijajet ljubov'
Na ustakh u tebja;]1
Kak mne milo teper'
Ljubovat'sja toboj!
Kak vesna, khorosha
Ty, nevesta moja!
Obojmi zh, poceluj,
Prigolub', prilaskaj,
Jeshchjo raz — poskorej —
Poceluj gorjachej!
