Puskaj xanzha glyadit s prezren`em
Language: Russian (Русский)
Puskaj xanzha glyadit s prezren`em Na bezzakonny'j nash soyuz, Puskaj lyudskim predubezhden`em Ty' lishena semejny'x uz, No pered idolami sveta Ne gnu kolena ya moi, Kak ty', ne znayu v nem predmeta Ni sil`noj zloby', ni lyubvi. Kak ty', kruzhus` v vesel`i shumnom, Ne chtu vlady'koj nikogo, Delyusya s umny'm i bezumny'm, Zhivu dlya serdcza svoego; Zhivu bez celi, bezzabotno, Dlya schast`ya glux, dlya gorya nem, I lyudyam ruki zhmu oxotno, Xot` prezirayu ix mezh tem!.. My' smexom bran` ix unichtozhim, Nas klevety' ne razluchat: My' budem schastlivy', kak mozhem, Oni pust` budut kak xotyat!
