Menja ljubila ty ‑ ja zhizn'ju veselilsja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Menja ljubila ty - ja zhizn'ju veselilsja, Den' kazhdyj probuzhdal menja k vostorgam vnov'! Ja poterjal tebja - i s schastijem prostilsja: Akh, schastijem moim byla tvoja ljubov'! Menja ljubila ty - sred' milykh vdokhnovenij Ja pel prekrasnuju s zareju kazhdoj vnov'; Ja poterjal tebja - i moj zatmilsja genij: Akh, genijem moim byla tvoja ljubov'! Menja ljubila ty - ja dobrym byt' stremilsja, Iskal neschastnogo, chtob dat' jemu pokrov; Ja poterjal tebja - moj dukh ozhestochilsja: Dobrotoju mojej byla tvoja ljubov'!...
