Svecha gorit i merknet
Language: Russian (Русский)
Svecha gorit i merknet i vnov` gorit sil`nej, No merknet bezvozvratno siyan`e yuny'x dnej, Gori zhe, razgorajsya, poka eshyo ty' yun, Sil`nej, polnej kasajsya serdechny'x zvonkix strun. Chtob by'lo chto pripomnit` na sklone trudny'x let, Chtob starosti xolodnoj svetil netlenny'j svet - Mechtanij blagorodny'x, pory'vov molody'x, Bezumny'x, no prekrasny'x, bezumny'x - i svyaty'x.
