Белеет парус одинокий
Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: CHI
Белеет парус одинокий В тумане моря голубом. Что ищет он в стране далёкой? Что кинул он в краю родном? Играют волны, ветер свищет, И мачта гнётся и скрипит; Увы, он счастия не ищет И не от счастия бежит! Под ним струя светлей лазури, Над ним луч солнца золотой, А он, мятежный, просит бури, Как будто в бурях есть покой!
