by Nestor Vasil'yevich Kukol'nik (1809 - 1868)

Сон Рахили
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я видала его,
жениха моего,
в тихом радостном сне,
где-то в райской стране,
где-то в райской стране!

Как он статен, пригож!
Как могуч, как хорош!
Обняла я его,
жениха моего!
Жениха моего!

Стал и мрачен,
и дик мой суровый жених!
Он невесту свою
с смехом бросил в реку,
с смехом бросил в реку!

И в волнах голубых,
мой ужасный жених,
я любила тебя...
и проснулась любя,
и проснулась любя!
