by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Kogda odni vospominan'ja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda odni vospominan'ja O dnjach bezumstva i strastej Namesto slavnogo nazvan'ja Tvoj drug ostavit mež ljudej, Kogda s nasmeškoj jadovitoj Osudjat žizn' ego poroj, Ty budeš' li ego zaščitoj Pered besčuvstvennoj tolpoj? On žil s ljud'mi kak by s čužimi, I spravedliva ich vražda, No chot' vinoven pered nimi, Tebe on veren byl vsegda. Odnoj slezoj, odnim otvetom Ty možeš' smyt' ich prigovor, — Ver'! Ne postyden pered svetom Toboj oplakannyj pozor!
