Kogda b on znal
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda b on znal, chto plamennoj dushoyu S ego dushoj slivayus` tajno ya, Kogda b on znal, chto gor`koyu toskoyu Otravlena mladaya zhizn` moya! Kogda b on znal, kak strastno i kak nezhno On, moj kumir, raboj svoej lyubim… Kogda b on znal, chto v grusti beznadezhnoj Uvyanu ya, ne ponyataya im!.. Kogda b on znal, kogda b on znal! Kogda b on znal, kak dorogo mne stoit, Kak tyazhelo mne s nim pritvornoj by't`! Kogda b on znal, kak tomno serdce noet, Kogda velit mne gordost` strast` tait`!.. Kogda b on znal, kakoe ispy'tan`e Spokojny'j vzor ego prinosit mne, Kogda vzamen nemogo obozhan`ya Obidny'j xlad ya zryu v ego dushe! Kogda b on znal, kogda b on znal!
