Lyrics Ochi chernye (Black Eyes) - Feodor Chaliapin

Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie,
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye,
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas,
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas.

Ochi chyornye, ochi plamenny
I monyat oni v strany dal'nye,
Gde tsarit lyubov', gde tsarit pokoy,
Gde stradan'ya net, gde vrazhdy zapret.

Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie,
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye,
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas,
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas.

Ne vstrechal by vas, ne stradal by tak,
Ya by prozhil zhizn' ulybayuchis',
Vy sgubili menya ochi chernye
Unesli na vek moyo schast'e.

Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie,
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye,
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas,
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas
