by Aleksandr Nikolayevich Ostrovsky (1823 - 1886)
Net‑to zlej, posty'lee
Language: Russian (Русский)
Net-to zlej, posty'lee Zloj sirotskoj doli, Zlee gorya lyutogo, Tyazhelej nevoli. Vsem na svete prazdnichek, Tebe ne vesel`e!… Bujnoj li golovushke Bez vina poxmel`e! Molodost` ne raduet, Krasota ne teshit; Ne zanoba-devushka - Gore kudri cheshet.
