Esli smert' est' noč', esli žizn' est'...
Language: Russian (Русский)
Esli smert' est' noč', esli žizn' est' den' – Ach, umajal on, pestryj den', menja!.. I sguščaetsja nado mnoju ten', Ko snu klonitsja golova moja... Obessilennyj, otdajus' emu... No vsë grezitsja skvoz' nemuju t'mu – Gde-to tam, nad nej, jasnyj den' blestit I nezrimyj chor o ljubvi gremit...
