by Boris Kornilov (1907 - 1938)

V Nižnem Novgorode
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V Nižnem Novgorode s otkosa
Čajki padajut na peski.
Vse devčonki guljajut bez sprosa
I sovsem propadajut s toski.

Pachnet lipoj, siren'ju i mjatoj,
Nebyvalyj slepit kolorit.
Parni chodjat, kartuz pomjatyj,
Papiroska vo rtu gorit.

Vlažnym vetrom pachnulo nemnogo,
Lëgkim dymom, travoju syroj.
Snova Volga idët, kak doroga,
Vsja pokačivajas' pod goroj.

Snova, tronutyj radost'ju dolgoj,
JA poju, čto spokojstvie - prach,
Čto vysokie zvezdy nad Volgoj
Tože gasnut na pervych porach.

Čto naprasno zabytaja rano,
Choroša, moloda, vesela,
Kak v nesbytočnoj pesne, Tat'jana
V Nižnem Novgorode žila.
