Ax, zachem menya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ax, zachem menya Siloj vy'dali Za nemilogo - Muzha starogo. Nebos` veselo Teper` matushke Utirat` moi Slyozy' gor`kie; Nebos` veselo Glyadet` batyushke Na zhit`e-by't`e Goremy'shnoe! Nebos` serdce v nix Razry'vaetsya, Kak pridu odna Na velikij den`; Ot druzhka dary' Prinesu s soboj: Na lice - pechal`, Na dushe - tosku. Pozdno, rodny'e, Obvinyat` sud`bu, Vorozhit`, gadat`, Sulit` radosti! Pust` iz-za morya Korabli ply'vut; Pushhaj zoloto Na pol sy'petsya; Ne rasti trave Posle oseni; Ne czvesti czvetam Zimoj po snegu!
P. Bulakhov sets stanzas 1-6
