 Khotel by v jedinoje slovo
 Ja slit' moju grust' i pechal',
 I brosit' to slovo na veter,
 Chtob veter unjos jego vdal'.

 I pust'-by to slovo pechali
 Po vetru k tebe doneslos',
 I pust'-by vsegda i povsjudu
 Ono [k]1 tebe v serdce lilos'.

 I jesli [b]2 ustalyje ochi
 Somknulis' pod grezoj nochnoj,
 O, pust'-by to slovo pechali
 Zvuchalo vo sne nad toboj!

by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810-1866) , no title, published 1860

Ne dolgo nam guljat ruka s rukoj
V sadu gustom, po lipovym allejam,
Pri bleske zvezd, vecherneju poroj,
I zhizn' raznezhennoj, dushoj
Blagodarit' za vsjo, chto my imejem.

Ne dolgo nam pod obajan'jem snov,
Kak molodost' igrivykh i letuchikh,
Sledja lunu v izgibakh oblakov,
Mechtat' o tom, chemu net slov,
No chto zhivjot v dushakh u nas kipuchikh.
O, milyj drug! [Ne dolgo nam cvesti]1
Blazhenstvom chuvstv! za to my dolgo budem
Za nikh sud'be stradan'jem dan' nesti
I slova strashnogo: prosti!
My nikogda s toboj ne pozabudem.
