Language: Russian (Русский)
Vsë v žizni neverno, i smert' liš' odna Verna -- neizmenno verna! Vsë kinet, minuet, zabudet, projdët -- Ona ne minuet, najdët Pokinutych, skorbnych, poslednych iz nas, Do moški, nezrimoj dlja glaz. Ona ne zabudet, pridët, prigolubit, Obnimet, naveki poljubit, I bračnyj svoj tjažkij nadenet venec, I žiznennoj skazke -- konec!
