Ėto bylo davno
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ėto bylo davno... JA ne pomnju, kogda ėto bylo... Proneslis', kak viden'ja, i kanuli v večnost' goda, Utomlennoe serdce o prošlom teper' pozabylo... Ėto bylo davno... JA ne pomnju, kogda ėto bylo, Možet byt', nikogda... JA ne znaju tebja... Posle dolgoj pečal'noj razluki Kak mne vspomnit' tvoj golos, tvoj vzgljad, očertan'ja lica I laskavšie nekogda milye, nežnye ruki? - JA ne znaju tebja posle dolgoj pečal'noj razluki, Posle slëz bez konca... Inogda... inogda, mne sdaëtsja, tebja ja vstrečaju V vichre žizni bezumnoj, v razgare ljudskoj suety, Ždu tebja i zovu, vse dvižen'ja tvoi zamečaju... Inogda... inogda, mne sdaëtsja, tebja ja vstrečaju, No vgljažus' - net, ne ty!... Ėto bylo davno... JA ne pomnju, kogda ėto bylo... No bessonnye noči, no dumy... Kak žutko togda, Kak mne chočetsja sčast'ja, kak prošloe blizko i milo!... Ėto bylo davno... JA ne pomnju, kogda ėto bylo... No so mnoj ty vsegda!...
