Osen'
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Scottish (Scots)
Davno li cvel zelenyj dol, Les šelestel listvoj, I každyj list byl svež i čist Ot vlagi doždevoj. Gde ėtot letnij raj? Gde ėtot raj? Lesnaja gluš' mertva. No snova maj pridet v naš kraj, Pridet v naš kraj, No snova maj pridet v naš kraj, - I zašumit listva, I zazvenit, i zapoet, I snova lipa zacvetet, I snova lipa zacvetet. No ni vesnoj, ni v letnij znoj S sebja ja ne strjachnu Tjaželyj sled prošedšich let, Pečal' i sedinu. Gde ėtot letnij raj? Gde ėtot raj? Lesnaja gluš' mertva. No snova maj pridet v naš kraj, Pridet v naš kraj, No snova maj pridet v naš kraj, - I zašumit listva, I zazvenit, i zapoet, I snova lipa zacvetet, I snova lipa zacvetet. Pod starost' kratok den', A noč' bez sna dlinna. I dvaždy v god k nam ne pridet Sčastlivaja vesna.
