Beloj noch'ju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Akh, dver' ne zapirala ja, Ne zazhigala svech, Ne znajesh', kak, ustalaja, Ja ne reshalas' lech'. Smotret', kak gasnut polosy V zakatnom mrake khvoj, P'janeja zvukom golosa, Pokhozhego na tvoj. I znat', chto vsjo poterjano, Chto zhizn' — prokljatyj ad! O, ja byla uverena, Chto ty pridesh' nazad.
