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

Somnenie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ujmites`, volneniya strasti!
Zasni, beznadezhnoe serdce!
YA plachu, ya strazhdu, -
Dusha utomilas` v razluke;
YA strazhdu, ya plachu, -
Ne vy'plakat` gorya v slezax.
Naprasno nadezhdu mne schast`e gadaet,
Ne veryu, ne veryu obetam kovarny'm!
Razluka unosit lyubov`.

Kak son neotstupny'j i grozny'j,
Mne snitsya sopernik schastlivy'j,
I tajno i zlobno
Kipyashhaya revnost` py'laet,
I tajno i zlobno
Oruzhiya ishhet ruka.
Naprasno izmenu mne revnost` gadaet,
Ne veryu, ne veryu kovarny'm navetam.
YA schastliv, ty' snova moya.
Minuet pechal`noe vremya, -
My' snova obnimem drug druga,
I strastno i zharko zab`etsya voskresshee serdce,
I strastno i zharko s ustami sol`yutsya usta.
