Ya budu zhdat`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya budu zhdat` tebya muchitel`no, YA budu zhdat` tebya goda, Ty' manish` sladko-isklyuchitel`no, Ty' obeshhaesh` navsegda. Ty' vsya - bezmolvie neschastiya, Sluchajny'j svet vo mgle zemnoj, Neiz``yasnennost` sladostrastiya, Eshhe ne poznannogo mnoj. Svoej usmeshkoj vechno-krotkoyu, Liczom, vsegda sklonenny'm nicz, Svoej nerovnoyu poxodkoyu Kry'laty'x, no ne xodkix pticz, Ty' budish` chuvstva tajno-spyashhie, I znayu, ne zatmit sleza Tvoi kuda-to proch` glyadyashhie, Tvoi neverny'e glaza. Ne znayu, xochesh` li ty' radosti, Usta k ustam, pril`nut` ko mne, No ya ne znayu vy'sshej sladosti, Kak by't` s toboj naedine. Ne znayu, smert` li ty' nezhdannaya Il` [nerozhdennaya]1 zvezda, No budu zhdat` tebya, zhelannaya, YA budu zhdat` tebya vsegda.
