Ja zhdal tebja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja zhdal tebja... Chasy polzli unylo, Kak starye dokuchnye vragi... Vsju noch' menja budil tvoj golos milyj I ch'i-to slyshalis' shagi. Ja zhdal tebja... Prozrachen, svezh i svetel, Osennij den' povejal nad zemlej... V nemoj toske ja den' prekrasnyj vstretil Odnoju zhgucheju slezoj. Pojmi khot' raz, chto v `etoj zhizni shumnoj, Chtob byt' s toboj, ja kazhdyj mig lovlju, Chto ja ljublju, ljublju tebja bezumno, Kak zhizn', kak schastije, ljublju!
