Ne poj, krasavica, pri mne

Ne poj, krasavica, pri mne
Ty pesen Gruziji pechal'noj;
Napominajut mne [oni]1
Druguju zhizn' i bereg dal'nij.

Uvy, napominajut mne
Tvoji zhestokije napevy
I step', i noch', i pri lune
Cherty dalekoj, bednoj devy!

Ja [prizrak]2 milyj, rokovoj,
Tebja uvidev, zabyvaju;
No ty pojosh', i predo mnoj
Jego ja vnov' voobrazhaju.
