Vozdushnaya ptichka, na okne u menya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vozdushnaya ptichka, na okne u menya, Na mgnoven`e prisela i zapela zvenya, — Vozdushnaya ptichka ne vidala menya. Zakat zapozdaly'j v oblakax dogoral, Upoitel`no aly'j kak nebesny'j korall, — Zaby'ty'j, ustaly'j, ya odin umiral. No seraya ptichka, na raskry'tom okne, Vsyo vozdushnee pela o negasnushhem dne, — O vechnosti svetloj v neizvestnoj strane. I tixo ya umer, bez pechali zemnoj, I zamolkshaya ptichka uletela so mnoj, — Smutivshis` vnezapno nezemnoj tishinoj.
