Ja segodnja ne pomnju, chto bylo vchera
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja segodnja ne pomnju, chto bylo vchera,
Po utram zabyvaju svoi vechera,
V belyj den' zabyvaju ogni,
Po nocham zabyvaju dni.
No vse nochi i dni naplyvajut na nas
Pered smert'ju, v torzhestvennyj chas.
I togda — v dukhote, v tesnote
Slishkom bol'no mechtat'
O byloj krasote
I ne moch':
Khochesh' vstat' —
I noch'.
