А, ты думал – я тоже такая
Language: Russian (Русский)
А, ты думал – я тоже такая, Что можно забыть меня, И что брошусь, моля и рыдая. Под копыта гнедого коня. Или стану просить у знахарок В наговорной воде корешок И пришлю тебе страшный подарок – Мой заветный душистый платок. Будь же проклят. Ни стоном, ни взглядом Окаянной души не коснусь, Но клянусь тебе ангельским садом, Чудотворной иконой клянусь И ночей наших пламенных чадом – Я к тебе никогда не вернусь.
