by Ivan Savvich Nikitin (1824 - 1861)

Отвяжися, тоска
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Отвяжися, тоска,
Пылью поразвейся!
Что за грусть, коли жив, —
И сквозь слёзы смейся!
Не диковинка — пир
При хорошей доле;
Удаль с горя поёт,
Пляшет и в неволе.
Уж ты как ни хвались
Умной головою —
Громовых облаков
Не отвесть рукою.
Грусть-забота не спит,
Без беды крушится;
Беззаботной душе
И на камне спится.
Коли солнышка нет —
Ясный месяц светит;
Изменила любовь, —
Песня не изменит!
Сердце просит не слёз,
А живёт отрадой;
Вот умрёшь — ну, тогда
Ничего не надо.
