A, ty' dumal – ya tozhe takaya
Language: Russian (Русский)
A, ty' dumal – ya tozhe takaya, Chto mozhno zaby't` menya, I chto broshus`, molya i ry'daya. Pod kopy'ta gnedogo konya. Ili stanu prosit` u znaxarok V nagovornoj vode koreshok I prishlyu tebe strashny'j podarok – Moj zavetny'j dushisty'j platok. Bud` zhe proklyat. Ni stonom, ni vzglyadom Okayannoj dushi ne kosnus`, No klyanus` tebe angel`skim sadom, Chudotvornoj ikonoj klyanus` I nochej nashix plamenny'x chadom – YA k tebe nikogda ne vernus`.
