Vechernij svet pogas
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vechernij svet pogas. Chut` dy'shit glad` vody'. Nastal zavetny'j chas Dlya ískristoj Zvezdy'. Ona teper` gorit, Okutannaya mgloj. I svetom govorit Ne s Nebom, a s Zemlyoj. Uvidela ona, Kak tam vnizu temno, Kak sladko spit volna, Kak spit rechnoe dno. I vot vo mgle, vdali, Otkry'v liczo svoyo, Kuvshinki rasczveli I smotryat na neyo. Oni goryat v nochi, Ix nezhit glad` vody', Laskayut ix luchi Zastenchivoj Zvezdy'. I budut nad vodoj Vsyu noch` oni goret`, Chtob s Utrennej Zvezdoj Sty'dlivo umeret`.
