Kakaja noch'! Ja ne mogu
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kakaja noch'! Ja ne mogu… Ne spitsja mne. Takaja lunnost'! Jeshche kak budto beregu V dushe utrachennuju junost'. Podruga okhladevshikh let, Ne nazyvaj igru ljubov'ju. Pust' luchshe `etot lunnyj svet Ko mne struitsja k izgolov'ju. Pust' iskazhennye cherty On obrisovyvajet smelo, — Ved' razljubit' ne smozhesh' ty, Kak poljubit' ty ne sumela. Ljubit' lish' mozhno tol'ko raz. Vot ottogo ty mne chuzhaja, Chto lipy tshchetno manjat nas, V sugroby nogi pogruzhaja. Ved' znaju ja i znajesh' ty, Chto v `etot otsvet lunnyj, sinij Na `etikh lipakh ne cvety — Na `etikh lipakh sneg da inej. Chto otljubili my davno, Ty — ne menja, a ja — druguju, I nam oboim vse ravno Igrat' v ljubov' nedoroguju. No vse zh laskaj i obnimaj V lukavoj strasti poceluja, Pust' serdcu vechno snitsja maj I ta, chto navsegda ljublju ja.
