by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)
Mne ne žal', čto toboju ja ne byl ljubim, —
Language: Russian (Русский)
Mne ne žal', čto toboju ja ne byl ljubim, — JA ljubvi nedostoin tvoej! Mne ne žal', čto teper' ja razlukoj tomim, — JA v razluke ljublju gorjačej; Mne ne žal', čto i nálil i vypil ja sam Uniženija čašu do dna, Čto k prokljat'jam moim, i k slezam, i k mol'bam Ostavalasja ty cholodna; Mne ne žal', čto ogon', zakipevšij v krovi, Moe serdce sžigal i tomil, No mne žal', čto kogda-to ja žil bez ljubvi, No mne žal', čto ja malo ljubil!
