O, esli b mne serdce cholodnoe
Language: Russian (Русский)
O, esli b mne serdce cholodnoe, Cholodnoe serdce rusalki, — Čtob mog ja spokojno vnimat' neumolčnomu ropotu Morja, I stonu stradanij ljudskich! O, esli b mne kryl'ja orlinye, Svobodnye sil'nye kryl'ja, — Čtob mog ja na nich uletet' v bezgraničnoe carstvo Lazuri, Čtob mog ja ne videt' ljudej!
