by Igor Vasil'yevich Lotaryov (1887 - 1941), as Igor Severyanin

Zizi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
          Postignut' serdcem vse vozmožno
          Nepostižimoe umu...
                  K. Fofanov

Besšumno šlo motornoe lando
Po «ostrovam» k zelenomu «puantu».
I vzor Zizi, pevučee rondo,
Skol'zja v lornet, tomil koleni frantu...

Chrustit ot šin zanosčivo šosse,
I vozduch poln vesennego uduš'ja,
V ee duše — oskolki strof Mjussė,
A na lice — obidnoe bezduš'e.

Zizi, Zizi! Tebe sebja ne žal'?
Ne žal' sebja, butončatoj i krotkoj?
Il', možet byt', cela duši skrižal',
I lilija ne možet byt' kokotkoj?

Ostanovi motor! snimi manto
I šelk bel'ja, besčest'ja pautinu,
Razbej kol'e i, vyjdja iz lando,
Smoj nagotoj muarovuju tinu!

Čto do togo, čto skažet Pustota
Pod šljapkami, cilindrami i kėpi!
Čto do togo! — takaja nagota
Velikolepnej vsech velikolepij!
