Alexander Pushkin
Nas bylo mnogo na chelne:
Inye parus naprjagali,
Drugije druzhno upirali
V glub' moshchny vjosla.
V tishine,
Na rul' sklonjas', nash kormishchik umnyj
V molchan'i pravil gruznyj chjoln;
A ja bespechnoj very poln
Plovcam ja pel...
Vdrug lono voln
Izmjal s naljotu vikhor' shumnyj...
Pogib i kormshchik i plovec!
Lish' ja, tainstvennyj pevec,
Na bereg vybroshen grozoju.
Ja gimny prezhnije poju,
I rizu vlazhnuju moju
Sushu na solnce pod skaloju.
