Tishe, lastochka boltliva!

Tishe, lastochka boltliva!
Tishe, tishe; polno pet'!
Ty s zareju vnov' schastliva, -
Akh, a mne prishlo terpet'!
Ja rasstat'sja dolzhen s miloj
Na zare, k mojim slezam...
O luna! tvoj svet [unyloj]1
Krashe solnyshka byl nam!

Tishe, lastochka boltliva!
Tishe, tishe; polno pet'!
Ty s zareju vnov' schastliva, - 
Akh, a mne prishlo terpet'!
Znat', i sonnaja mechtala
O ljubovi ty svojej:
Ty k utekham rano vstala,
A ja -- k goresti mojej!

Tishe, lastochka boltliva!
Tishe, tishe; polno pet'!
Ty s zareju vnov' schastliva, - 
Akh, a mne prishlo terpet'!
O, kogda b i ty imela
Uchast', ravnuju so mnoj,
Ty b molchala, a ne pela
I vstrechala den' s toskoj.
