Rasstalis' gordo my

Rasstalis' gordo my,
Ni slovom, ni slezoju
Ja grusti priznaka tebe ne podala.
My razoshlis' navek!
No jesli-by s toboju ja vstretit'sja mogla!
[ Akh, jesli b ja khot' vstretit'sja mogla!]1

Bez sljoz, bez zhalob ja
Sklonilas' pred [sud'boju]2.
Ne znaju, sdelav mne tak mnogo v zhizni zla,
Ljubil li ty menja?
No jesli-by s toboju ja vstretit'sja mogla!
[ Akh, jesli b ja khot vstretit'sja mogla!]1
