Language: Russian (Русский)  after the French (Français)
O, smejsya nado mnoj za to, chto bezuchastno YA v mire ne idu probitoyu tropoj, Za to, chto pesen dar i zhizn` ya szheg naprasno, Za to, chto gibnu ya… O, smejsya nado mnoj! Glumis` i xoxochi s bezzhalostny'm ukorom — Tolpa pochtit tvoj smex sochuvstviem zhivy'm; Vse budut za tebya, proklyat`ya gryanut xorom, I kamni poletyat poslushno za tvoim. I esli, sovladat` s toskoyu ne umeya, Izny'vshaya dusha zastonet, zadrozhit… Skorej sdavi mne grud`, prervi moj ston skoree, A to, by't` mozhet, Bog usly'shit i prostit.
