Nirvana
Language: Russian (Русский)
I vnov', kak v pervyj den' sozdan'ja, Lazur' nebesnaja tikha, Kak budto v mire net stradan'ja, Kak budto v serdce net grekha. Ne nado mne ljubvi i slavy: V molchan'i utrennikh polej Dyshu, kak dyshat `eti travy… Ni proshlykh, ni grjadushchikh dnej Ja ne khochu pytat' i chislit'. Ja tol'ko chuvstvuju opjat', Kakoje schastije — ne myslit', Kakaja nega — ne zhelat'!
