Bezum'e — i blagorazum'e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bezum'e — i blagorazum'e,
Pozor — i chest',
Vsjo, chto navodit na razdum'e,
Vsjo slishkom jest' —

Svilis' v odnu! —
Tak v volosakh moikh — vse masti
Vedut vojnu!

Ja znaju ves' ljubovnyj shjopot,
— Akh, naizust'! —
— Moj dvadcatidvukhletnij opyt —

— Lovimyj vnov'! —
Moikh prababushek-poljachek
Skazalas' krov'.

Lgu ottogo, chto po kladbíshcham
Trava rastjot,
Lgu ottogo, chto po kladbíshcham
Metel' metjot…

Ot skripki — ot avtomobilja —
Shelkov, ognja…
Ot pytki, chto ne vse ljubili
Odnu menja!

Ot boli, chto ne ja — nevesta
U zhenikha…
Ot zhesta i stikha — dlja zhesta
I dlja stikha!

Ot nezhnogo boa na sheje…
I kak mogu
Ne lgat', — raz golos moj nezhneje, —
Kogda ja lgu…
