Language: Russian (Русский)
Mne ne zhal`, chto toboyu ya ne by'l lyubim, — YA lyubvi nedostoin tvoej! Mne ne zhal`, chto teper` ya razlukoj tomim, — YA v razluke lyublyu goryachej; Mne ne zhal`, chto i nálil i vy'pil ya sam Unizheniya chashu do dna, Chto k proklyat`yam moim, i k slezam, i k mol`bam Ostavalasya ty' xolodna; Mne ne zhal`, chto ogon`, zakipevshij v krovi, Moe serdce szhigal i tomil, No mne zhal`, chto kogda-to ya zhil bez lyubvi, No mne zhal`, chto ya malo lyubil!
