Kak solnce zimneje prekrasno,
Kogda brodja mezh serykh tuch,
Na belyje snega naprasno
Ono kidajet slabyj luch!

Tak tochno, deva molodaja,
Tvoj obraz predo mnoj blestit;
No vzor tvoj, schast'je obeshchaja,
Moju li dushu ozhivit?

Nochevala tuchka zolotaja
Na grudi utjosa-velikana;
Utrom v put' ona umchalas' rano,
Po lazuri veselo igraja.

No ostalsja vlazhnyj sled v morshchine
Starogo utjosa. Odinoko
On stojit; zadumalsja gluboko,
I tikhon'ko plachet on v pustyne...

ENG English (Dmitri Nikolaevich Smirnov)

Na severe dikom stojit odinoko
Na goloj vershine sosna,
I dremlet, kachajas', i snegom sypuchim
Odeta, kak rizoj, ona.

I snitsja jej vsjo, chto v pustyne daljokoj,
V tom kraje, gde solnca voskhod,
Odna i grustna na utjose gorjuchem
Prekrasnaja pal'ma rastjot.

ENG English [singable] (Dmitri Nikolaevich Smirnov)

Tuchki nebesnyje, vechnyje stranniki! 
Step'ju lazurnoju, cep'ju zhemchuzhnoju
Mchites' vy, budto kak ja zhe, izgnanniki
S milogo severa v storonu juzhnuju. 

Kto zhe vas gonit: sud'by li reshenije? 
Zavist' li tajnaja? zloba l' otkrytaja? 
Ili na vas tjagotit prestuplenije? 
Ili druzej kleveta jadovitaja? 

Net, vam naskuchili nivy besplodnyje... 
Chuzhdy vam strasti i chuzhdy stradanija;
Vechno kholodnyje, vechno svobodnyje,
Net u vas rodiny, net vam izgnanija.
