Na cherdake
Language: Russian (Русский)
Chto na svete vy'she Svetly'x cherdakov? Vizhu truby', kry'shi Dal`nix kabakov. Put` tuda zakazan, I na chto — teper`? Vot — ya s nej lish` svyazan… Vot — zakry'ta dver`… A ona ne sly'shit — Sly'shit — ne glyadit, Tixaya — ne dy'shit, Belaya — molchit… Uzh ne prosit kushat`… Veter svishhet v shhel`. Kak mne lyubo slushat` V`yuzhnuyu svirel`! Veter, snezhny'j sever, Davnij drug ty' mne! Podari ty' veer Molodoj zhene! Podari ej plat`e Beloe, kak ty'! Nanesi v krovat` ej Snezhny'e czvety'! Ty' daril mne gore, Tuchi, da snega… Podari ej zori, Busy', zhemchuga! Chtob by'la naryadna I, kak sneg, bela! Chtob glyadel ya zhadno Iz togo ugla!.. Slashhe poj ty', v`yuga, V snezhnuyu trubu, Chtob spala podruga V ledyanom grobu! Chtob ona ne vstala, Ne skripi, doska… Chtob ne ispugala Milogo druzhka!
