Dlya chego ya ne rodilsya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Dlya chego ya ne rodilsya E`toj sineyu volnoj? Kak by' shumno ya katilsya Pod serebryanoj lunoj, O, kak strastno ya lobzal by' Zolotisty'j moj pesok, Kak nadmenno preziral by' Nedoverchivy'j chelnok; Vsyo, chem tak gordyatsya lyudi, Moj nabeg by' razrushal; I k moej studenoj grudi YA b stradal`cev prizhimal; Ne strashilsya b muki ada, Raem ne by'l by' prel`shhen; Bespokojstvo i proxlada By'li b vechny'j moj zakon; Ne iskal by' ya zabven`ya V dal`nem severnom krayu; By'l by' volen ot rozhden`ya Zhit` i konchit` zhizn` moyu!
