Признание
 (Sung text for setting by P. Bulakhov)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Мой друг, тебе хотел бы я
  Сказать, что душу мучит;
Я знаю, исповедь моя
  Тебе ведь не наскучит.
Да только лишь сказать хочу,
  Как вдруг в лице я вспыхну,
Займется дух, и я молчу
  И головой поникну.

А все бы я хотел сказать:
  Люблю иль ненавижу,
Как я не верую судьбу,
  Как мало в жизни вижу;
Да стыдно жаловаться мне,
  А в том, что как-то чудно
Живет в душевной глубине,
  Мне высказаться трудно.
