Val`s «Luch Nadezhdy'»
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nadezhdy' val`s zovyot, zvuchit -- I, zamiraya, zany'vaet; On tixo k serdczu podstupaet I serdczu gromko govorit: Sredi beschislenny'x zabav, Sredi stradannij by'strotechny'x -- Kakix strastej ty' xochesh` vechny'x, Kakix ty' xochesh` vechny'x prav? Naprasny'x blag ne ozhidaj! Zhivi, kruzhas` pod e`ti zvuki, I tajny'x ran gluxie muki Ne razdrazhaj, a usy'plyaj! Kogda zh krasavicza projdyot Pered toboj pod maskoj chyornoj I ruku s nezhnost`yu pritvornoj Mnogoznachitel`no pozhmyot, -- Togda oslepni i py'laj! -- Lovi letuchie mgnoven`ya I na pusty'e uveren`ya Minutny'm zharom otvechaj!
