Bol'
Language: Russian (Русский)
«Krasnym ugljom [t'mu]1 cherchu,
Kolkim zhalom plot' lizhu,
Tugo, tugo zhgut kruchu,
Gnu, lomaju i vjazhu.
Shnurochkom ssuchu,
Stjanu i smochu.
Igroj razbuzhu,
Igloj pronizhu.
I ja takaja dobraja,
Vljubljus' — tak prisosus'.
Kak laskovaja kobra, ja,
Laskajas', obov'jus'.
I opjat' sozhmu, somnu,
Vint medlitel'no vvinchu,
Budu gryzt', poka khochu.
Ja verna — ne obmanu.
Ty ustal — ja otdokhnu,
Otojdu i podozhdu.
Ja verna, ljubov' vernu,
Ja opjat' k tebe pridu,
Ja igrat' s toboj khochu,
Krasnym uglem zacherchu...»
