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

Zhavoronok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG FRE
Mezhdu nebom i zemlyoj 
Pesnya razdayotsya,
Neisxodnoyu struyoj 
Gromche gromche l`yotsya.

Ne vidat` pevcza polej! 
Gde poyot tak gromko
Nad podruzhen`koj svoej 
Zhavoronok zvonkij.

Veter pesenku nesyot, 
A komu, ne znaet.
Ta, k komu ona pojmyot, 
Ot kogo -- uznaet!

Lejsya zh, pesenka moya, 
Pesn` nadezhdy' sladkoj...
Kto-to vspomnit pro menya 
I vzdoxnyot ukradkoj.
