O, smejsja nado mnoj za to, čto...
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
O, smejsja nado mnoj za to, čto bezučastno JA v mire ne idu probitoju tropoj, Za to, čto pesen dar i žizn' ja sžeg naprasno, Za to, čto gibnu ja… O, smejsja nado mnoj! Glumis' i chochoči s bezžalostnym ukorom — Tolpa počtit tvoj smech sočuvstviem živym; Vse budut za tebja, prokljat'ja grjanut chorom, I kamni poletjat poslušno za tvoim. I esli, sovladat' s toskoju ne umeja, Iznyvšaja duša zastonet, zadrožit… Skorej sdavi mne grud', prervi moj ston skoree, A to, byt' možet, Bog uslyšit i prostit.
