I ruki l'nut k rukam
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the English
I ruki l'nut k rukam, i oči smotrjat v oči - Tak prost naš gimn serdec v sijan'e ėtoj noči. Luna nam ticho svetit, struitsja aromat, I flejta, i girljanda v zabvenii ležat. Začem teper' mne zvuki, začem tebe cvety. Prosta ljubov', kak pesnja, zdes' tol'ko ja da ty. I smotrjat oči v oči, i l'nut k ustam usta. Mež mnoju i toboju ljubov', kak pesn', prosta.
