V sovesti iskal ja dolgo obvinen'ja
Language: Russian (Русский)
V sovesti iskal ja dolgo obvinen'ja, Gorestnoe serdce voprošal dovol'no — Čisty moi mysli, čisty pobužden'ja, A na svete žit' mne tjaželo i bol'no. Každyj zvuk slučajnyj ja lovlju pytlivo, Pesnja li razdastsja na sele dalëkom, Veter li vskolyšet zolotuju nivu — Každyj zvuk nejasnym mne zvučit uprëkom. Zaleglo gluboko smutnoe somnen'e, I duša soboju večno nedovol'na: Net ej prigovora, net ej primiren'ja, I na svete žit' mne tjaželo i bol'no! Soglasit' ja siljus', čto nesoglasimo, No naprasno razum b'ëtsja i chlopočet, Gorestnaja čaša ne prochodit mimo, Ni k ustam zovuščim nizojti ne chočet!
