O, jesli b grust' moja

Language: Russian

O, jesli b grust' moja,
Chto davit serdce mne,
Tebe bez slov byla ponjatna.
Kak nochi mgla bez zvjozd,
Kak mir v predsmertnom sne,
Ona temna i neob"jatna!

Obmanchivoj slezoj
Ne vyplachesh' vsego,
Ne pereskazhesh' pesnej nezhnoj.
Ty pesni ne pojmjosh',
Kak serdca mojego
Ne ponjal ty v grudi mjatezhnoj.
