Zachem s uly'bkoyu pechal`noj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zachem s uly'bkoyu pechal`noj,
Moj drug, ty' smotrish` na menya?..
Zachem ne skazhesh` dumy' tajnoj?..
Chto za pechali u tebya?
Zachem ne skazhesh` dumy' tajnoj,
Chto za pechali, chto za pechali u tebya?

I chasto s grustiyu vo vzore
Ty', prizadumavshis`, sidish`.
By't` mozhet, tajna e`ta – gore?
Stradaesh` ty', no vse molchish`.
By't` mozhet, tajna e`ta – gore?
Stradaesh` ty',
Stradaesh` ty', no vse molchish`.

Pover`, moj drug, ne vse pechali
Tebe v udel sud`ba dala,
Vse v zhizni radosti vstrechali,
I zhizn` dlya vsex by'la mila,
I zhizn` dlya vsex,
I zhizn` dlya vsex by'la mila.
