Davnym‑davno
Language: Russian (Русский)
Davno li um s fortunoj v ssore, A glupost' — sčastija zerno? Davno li iskrennim byt' — gore, Davno li čestnym byt' smešno? Davno l' tridcatyj god Izore? Davnym-davno.Kogda Ėrast gljadel vel'možej, Ty, Frol, dyšal s nim zaodno. Včera už ne v ego prichožej Vertelos' sčast'ja veretno; Davno l' s nim videlsja? — «O bože! Davnym-davno».«Davno l' v ladu s zdorov'em, siloj Čestil ljubov' ja i vino?» — Raz govoril podagrik chilyj; Žena v uglu molčala, no… V otvet primolvil vzdoch unylyj: Davnym-davno.Davno l' znak česti na pozornom Liš' tol'ko jarkoe pjatno, Davno l' na vozduche pridvornom Vdrug i teplo i studeno I deržat pravdu v tele černom? Davnym-davno.
