Sharmanka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Menya ty', moj drug, pozhalela; No verit` li laske tvoej? Ot e`toj sluchajnoj uly'bki Na serdce eshhe xolodnej: Bezdomny'j, golodny'j brodyaga Izbity'j motiv pred toboj Igraet na vetxoj sharmanke Drozhashhej, nevernoj rukoj; I zhalko ego, i dosadno, I pesnya znakoma davno; Chtob proch` uxodil on, monetu Emu ty' brosaesh` v okno.
