Ljubil ja ochi golubyje

Language: Russian

Ljubil ja ochi golubyje,
Teper' vljubilsja v chjornyje,
Te byli milyje takije,
A `eti nepokornyje.

Gljadet', byvalo, ne ustanut
Te dolgo, vyrazitel'no,
A `eti ne gljadjat, a vzgljanut
Tak - slovno car' vlastitel'nyj.

Na tekh poroj sverkali sljozy,
Ljubvi nemyje zhaloby,
A tut ne sljozy, a ugrozy,
A to i sljoz ne stalo by.

Te ukroshchali zhizni volny,
Svetili mirnym schastijem,
A `eti burnykh molnij polny
I dyshat samovlastijem.

No uvlekatel'no, kak mladost',
Ikh junoje mogushchestvo,
O! ja b za nikh dal slavu, radost'
I vsjo dushi imushchestvo.

Ljubil ja ochi golubyje,
Teper' vljubilsja v chjornyje,
Khot' `eti serdcu ne rodnyje,
Khot' `eti nepokornyje.
