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

Попутная песня
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Дым столбом кипит, дымится пароход!
Пестрота, разгул, волненье, ожиданье, нетерпенье!
[Веселится и ликует весь]1 народ.
И быстрее, шибче воли поезд мчится в чистом поле.

Нет, тайная дума быстрее летит,
И сердце мгновенья считая стучит.
Коварные думы мелькают дорогой,
И шепчешь невольно:
Как долго, как долго?

Не воздух, не зелень страдальца манят.
Там ясные очи так ярко горят.
Так полный блаженства минуты свиданья,
Так сладки надеждой часы расставанья.
