      Кто не вида́л таки́х слёз в глаза́х люби́мого существа́, тот ещё не испыта́л, до како́й сте́пени, замира́я весь от благода́рности и от стыда́, мо́жет быть сча́стлив на земле́ челове́к.
      Kto ne vidál takíx sljoz v glazáx ljubímovo suščestvá, tot ješčó ne ispytál, do kakój stépeni, zamirája vesʹ ot blagodárnosti i ot stydá, móžet bytʹ sčástliv na zemlé čelovék.
      Whoever has not seen such tears in the eyes of a beloved person has not yet experienced to what an extent, overwhelmed with gratitude and awe, a human being may find happiness on earth.
