Ty' mne by'la sestroj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ty' mne by'la sestroj, to nezhnoyu, to strastnoj, I ya tebya lyubil, i ya tebya lyublyu. Ty' prizrak dorogoj... bledneyushhij... neyasny'j. O, v e`tot lunny'j chas ya o tebe skorblyu! Mne xochetsya, chtob Noch`, raskinuvshaya kry'l`ya, Vozdushnoj tishinoj soedinila nas. Mne xochetsya, chtob ya, ispolnenny'j bessil`ya, V tvoi glaza struil ogon` vlyublenny'x glaz. Mne xochetsya. chtob ty', vsya blednaya ot muki, Pod laskoj zamerla, i celoval by' ya Tvoe liczo, glaza, i malen`kie ruki, I ty' shepnula b mne: ``Smotri, ya vsya - tvoya!`` YA znayu, vse czvety' dlya nas mogli vozniknut`, Vo mne drozhit lyubov`, kak lunny'j luch v volne. I ya xochu stonat`, bezumstvovat`, voskliknut`: ``Ty' budesh` navsegda lyubovnoj py'tkoj mne!``
