Ne zatem velichal ya sebya paladinom
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ne zatem velichal ya sebya paladinom, Ne zatem ved` i ty' prixodila ko mne, Chtoby' tol`ko ry'dat` nad potuxshim kaminom, Chtoby' tol`ko plyasat` pri umershem ogne! Ili schastie vpravdu neverno i by'stro? Ili vpravdu ya slab uzhe, bolen i star? Net! V zole eshhyo brodyat poslednie iskry' — Est` ogon`, chtoby' vspy'xnul pozhar!
