Ax, zachem e`ta noch`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ax, zachem e`ta noch` Tak by'la xorosha! Ne bolela by' grud`, Ne stradala b dusha... Aromatnoj vesnoj Povstrechalsya ya s nej. Rasczvetali czvety', Sladko pel solovej. Vsej dushoj otdalsya, Lish` odnoj eyu zhil, Czeloval, miloval I bezumno lyubil. Ne vnimaya mol`bam I ry'dan`yam moim, Vdrug poshla pod venecz Ne so mnoj, a s drugim. I nikto ne vidal, Kak ya v cerkvi stoyal, Prislonivshis` k stene, Bezuteshno ry'dal. Tak k chemu zh mne stradat`, Dlya chego zhe mne zhit`, Kol` ee zloj sud`boj Ne dano mne lyubit`.
