Beleet parus odinokij
Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: CHI
Beleet parus odinokij V tumane morya golubom. Chto ishhet on v strane dalyokoj? Chto kinul on v krayu rodnom? Igrayut volny', veter svishhet, I machta gnyotsya i skripit; Uvy', on schastiya ne ishhet I ne ot schastiya bezhit! Pod nim struya svetlej lazuri, Nad nim luch solncza zolotoj, A on, myatezhny'j, prosit buri, Kak budto v buryax est` pokoj!
