Zvjozdy noch'ju vesennej

Zvjozdy noch'ju vesennej nezhneje, 
Solov'ji ostorozhnej pojut...
Ja ljublju `eti tjomnyje nochi, 
`Eti zvjozdy, i kljony, i prud.

Ty, kak zvjozdy, chista i prekrasna... 
Radost' zhizni vo vsem ja lovlju:
V zvezdnom nebe, v cvetakh, v aromatakh...
No tebja ja nezhneje ljublju.

Lish' s toboju [odnoju ja schastliv]1, 
I tebja ne zamenit [nikto]2:
Ty odna menja znajesh' i ljubish' 
I odna ponimajesh' -- za chto!
