Net, ej ne žit' na ėtom svete
Language: Russian (Русский)
Net, ej ne žit' na ėtom svete: Ona uvjanet, kak cvetok, Čto raspustilsja na rassvete I do zari dožit' ne mog. Ostav' ee! Pečal'noj žizni Ona ne znaet, no grustit: Inoj, nevedomoj otčizne Ee duša prinadležit. Ona liš' lastočkoj zaletnoj Izdaleka primčalas' k nam, — I vnov' vernetsja bezzabotno K svoim rodimym nebesam.
