Byvalo, byvalo
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Byvalo, byvalo,
Kak vsjo uteshalo,
Kak vsjo privlekalo,
Kak vsjo zabavljalo,
Kak vsjo voskhishchalo.
Byvalo, byvalo!

Byvalo, byvalo,
Kak solnce sijalo,
Kak nebo pylalo,
Kak vse rascvetalo,
Rezvilos', igralo.
Byvalo, byvalo!

Byvalo, byvalo,
Kak serdce mechtalo,
Kak serdce stradalo,
Kak zamiralo
I kak ozhivalo.
Byvalo, byvalo!

I skol'ko ne stalo
Togo, chto byvalo
Tak serdce plenjalo,
Tak mir ozhivljalo,
Tak svetlo sijalo.
Byvalo, byvalo!

Inoje zavjalo,
Inoje otstalo,
Inoje propalo,
Chto serdce laskalo,
Zavetnym schitalo.
Byvalo, byvalo!

Teper' vsjo zatmilo
Toski pokryvalo.
Akh, serdce byvalo
Toski i ne znalo,
Ono upovalo.
Byvalo, byvalo!
