Ya videl raz eyo v vesyolom vixre bala
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya videl raz eyo v vesyolom vixre bala; Kazalos`, mne ona ponravit`sya zhelala; Ochej privetlivost`, dvizhenij by'strota, Prirodny'j blesk lanit i grudi polnota — Vse, vse napolnilo b mne um ocharovan`em, Kogda b sovsem iny'm, bessmy'slenny'm zhelan`em YA ne by'l ugneten; kogda by' predo mnoj Ne proletala ten` s nasmeshkoyu pustoj, Kogda b ya tol`ko mog zaby't` cherty' drugie, Liczo besczvetnoe i vzory' ledyany'e!..
