Chto on xodit za mnoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Chto on xodit za mnoj, Vsyudu ishhet menya I, vstrechayas`, glyadit Tak lukavo vsegda? Chto smeshnova vo mne — YA ponyat` ne mogu; I za mnoyu xodit` — Kto dal pravo emu? Pomnyu, kak to davno U znakomy'x by'l bal; Kak bezumny'j, vsyu noch` On so mnoj tanceval! Slova net — on xorosh: Brovi, nos i liczo, No glaza — za glaza — Nenavizhu ego! Goluby'e oni… I kak zharko goryat! Budto yada polny', Budto s``est` vas xotyat! Vashix d`yavol`skix glaz YA boyus` kak ognya!..
