Bylye slëzy
Language: Russian (Русский)
Slëzy bylye, slëzy čužie, V dušu vy l'etes' žgučeju lavoj, V serdce vpilis' vy tajnoj otravoj, Bol'no ot vas mne, slëzy bylye!.. Sled vaš izglažen; daže zabyta Vaša pričina - rana živaja, Gor'kaja duma: rana zakryta, - Dumu smenila radost' mladaja!.. JA že revnuju!.. Strasti porukoj Slëzy ne l'jutsja mne dorogie... Vas ja kupila b pytkoj i mukoj, Vas mne zavidno, slëzy bylye!..
