Chyorny'j voron v sumrake snezhnom
Language: Russian (Русский)
Chyorny'j voron v sumrake snezhnom, Chyorny'j barxat na smugly'x plechax. Tomny'j golos peniem nezhny'm Mne poyot o yuzhny'x nochax. V lyogkom serdce — strast` i bespechnost`, Slovno s morya mne podan znak. Nad bezdonny'm provalom v vechnost`, Zady'xayas`, letit ry'sak. Snezhny'j veter, tvoyo dy'xan`e, Op`yanyonny'e guby' moi… Valentina, zvezda, mechtan`e! Kak poyut tvoi solov`i… Strashny'j mir! On dlya serdcza tesen! I nyom — tvoix poceluev bred, Tyomny'j mórok cy'ganskix pesen, Toroplivy'j polyot komet!
