Nam zviozdi krotkie siali, 'Gentle stars were shining upon us'
Russian source:
Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev
Nam zviozdi krotkie siali,
chut' vejal tikhij veterok,
krugom cvety blagoukhali,
i volny laskovo zhurchali
u nashikh nog.
My byli juny, my ljubili,
i s veroj v dal' smotreli my;
v nas grjozy raduzhnye zhili,
i nam ne strashny v'jugi byli
sedoj zimy.
Gde zh `eti nochi s ikh sijan'em,
s blagoukhajushchej krasoj
i voln tainstvennym zhurchan'jem,
nadezhd, vostorzhjonnykh mechtanij
gde svetlyj roj?
Pomerkli zvjozdy, i unylo
ponikli bleklye cvety...
Kogda zh, o serdce, vse, chto bylo,
chto nam vesna s toboj darila,
zabudesh' ty?
