Osen`
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Scottish (Scots)
Davno li czvel zeleny'j dol, Les shelestel listvoj, I kazhdy'j list by'l svezh i chist Ot vlagi dozhdevoj. Gde e`tot letnij raj? Gde e`tot raj? Lesnaya glush` mertva. No snova maj pridet v nash kraj, Pridet v nash kraj, No snova maj pridet v nash kraj, - I zashumit listva, I zazvenit, i zapoet, I snova lipa zaczvetet, I snova lipa zaczvetet. No ni vesnoj, ni v letnij znoj S sebya ya ne stryaxnu Tyazhely'j sled proshedshix let, Pechal` i sedinu. Gde e`tot letnij raj? Gde e`tot raj? Lesnaya glush` mertva. No snova maj pridet v nash kraj, Pridet v nash kraj, No snova maj pridet v nash kraj, - I zashumit listva, I zazvenit, i zapoet, I snova lipa zaczvetet, I snova lipa zaczvetet. Pod starost` kratok den`, A noch` bez sna dlinna. I dvazhdy' v god k nam ne pridet Schastlivaya vesna.
