Dlja čego ja ne rodilsja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Dlja čego ja ne rodilsja Ėtoj sineju volnoj? Kak by šumno ja katilsja Pod serebrjanoj lunoj, O, kak strastno ja lobzal by Zolotistyj moj pesok, Kak nadmenno preziral by Nedoverčivyj čelnok; Vsë, čem tak gordjatsja ljudi, Moj nabeg by razrušal; I k moej studenoj grudi JA b stradal'cev prižimal; Ne strašilsja b muki ada, Raem ne byl by prel'ščen; Bespokojstvo i prochlada Byli b večnyj moj zakon; Ne iskal by ja zabven'ja V dal'nem severnom kraju; Byl by volen ot rožden'ja Žit' i končit' žizn' moju!
