Beloj noch`yu
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ax, dver` ne zapirala ya, Ne zazhigala svech, Ne znaesh`, kak, ustalaya, YA ne reshalas` lech`. Smotret`, kak gasnut polosy' V zakatnom mrake xvoj, P`yaneya zvukom golosa, Poxozhego na tvoj. I znat`, chto vsyo poteryano, Chto zhizn` — proklyaty'j ad! O, ya by'la uverena, Chto ty' pridesh` nazad.
