by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Poslušaj, byt' možet, kogda my pokinem
Language: Russian (Русский)
Poslušaj, byt' možet, kogda my pokinem Navek ėtot mir, gde dušoju tak stynem, Byt' možet v strane, gde ne znajut obmanu, Ty angelom budeš', ja demonom stanu! — Kljanisja togda pozabyt', dorogaja, Dlja prežnego druga vsë sčastie raja! Pust' mračnyj izgnannik, sud'boj osuždennyj, Tebe budet raem, a ty mne — vselennoj! —
