Poslushaj, by't` mozhet, kogda my' pokinem
Language: Russian (Русский)
Poslushaj, by't` mozhet, kogda my' pokinem Navek e`tot mir, gde dushoyu tak sty'nem, By't` mozhet v strane, gde ne znayut obmanu, Ty' angelom budesh`, ya demonom stanu! — Klyanisya togda pozaby't`, dorogaya, Dlya prezhnego druga vsyo schastie raya! Pust` mrachny'j izgnannik, sud`boj osuzhdenny'j, Tebe budet raem, a ty' mne — vselennoj! —
