2. Два ворона  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ворон к ворону летит,
Ворон к ворону кричит:
,,Ворон, где б нам [отобедать]1 ?
[Как]2 бы нам о том проведать?``

Ворон ворону в ответ:
,,Знаю, будет нам обед;
В чистом поле под ракитой
Богатырь лежит убитый.

Кем убит и отчего,
Знает сокол лишь его,
[Да]3 кобылка вороная,
Да хозяйка молодая.

Сокол в рощу улетел,
На кобылку недруг сел,
А хозяйка ждёт милого,
Не убитого, живого.``

3. Цветок  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Цветок засохший, безуханный,
Забытый в книге вижу я,
И вот уже мечтою странной
Душа наполнилась моя.

Где цвел, когда, какой весною?
И долго ль цвел, и сорван кем?
Чужой, знакомой ли рукою?
И положен сюда зачем?

На память нежного ль свиданья
Или разлуки роковой,
Иль одинокого гулянья
В тиши полей, в тени лесной?

И жив ли тот, и та жива ли?
[И где их нынче]1 уголок?
Или [уже они]2 увяли,
Как сей неведомый цветок?

4. Прости  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Прости! не помни дней паденья,
Тоски унынья, озлобленья,
Не помни бурь, не помни слёз,
Не помни ревности угроз!

Но дни, когда любви светило
Над нами ласково всходило
И бодро мы свершали путь,
Благослови и не забудь!

5. Под небом голубым страны своей родной  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Под небом голубым страны своей родной
  Она томилась, увядала...
Увядала наконец, и, верно надо мной
  Младая тень уже летала;
Но недоступная черта меж нами есть.
  Напрасно чувство возбуждал я:
Из равнодушных уст я слышал смерти весть,
  И равнодушно ей внимал я.
Так вот кого любил я пламенной душой
  С таким тяжёлым напряженьем,
С такою нежною, томительной тоской,
  С таким безумством и мученьем!
Где муки, где любовь? Увы! в душе моей 
  Для бедной, легковерной тени,
Для сладкой памяти невозвратимых дней
  Не нахожу ни слов, ни пени.
