Bezum`e — i blagorazum`e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bezum`e — i blagorazum`e,
Pozor — i chest`,
Vsyo, chto navodit na razdum`e,
Vsyo slishkom est` —

Vo mne. — Vse katorzhny'e strasti
Svilis` v odnu! —
Tak v volosax moix — vse masti
Vedut vojnu!

YA znayu ves` lyubovny'j shyopot,
— Ax, naizust`! —
— Moj dvadczatidvuxletnij opy't —
Sploshnaya grust`!

No oblik moj — nevinno rozov,
— Chto ni skazhi! —
YA virtuoz iz virtuozov
V iskusstve lzhi.

V nej, zapuskaemoj kak myachik
— Lovimy'j vnov`! —
Moix prababushek-polyachek
Skazalas` krov`.

Lgu ottogo, chto po kladbíshham
Trava rastyot,
Lgu ottogo, chto po kladbíshham
Metel` metyot…

Ot skripki — ot avtomobilya —
Shelkov, ognya…
Ot py'tki, chto ne vse lyubili
Odnu menya!

Ot boli, chto ne ya — nevesta
U zhenixa…
Ot zhesta i stixa — dlya zhesta
I dlya stixa!

Ot nezhnogo boa na shee…
I kak mogu
Ne lgat`, — raz golos moj nezhnee, —
Kogda ya lgu…
