E`to by'lo davno
Language: Russian (Русский)
E`to by'lo davno... YA ne pomnyu, kogda e`to by'lo... Proneslis`, kak viden`ya, i kanuli v vechnost` goda, Utomlennoe serdce o proshlom teper` pozaby'lo... E`to by'lo davno... YA ne pomnyu, kogda e`to by'lo, Mozhet by't`, nikogda... YA ne znayu tebya... Posle dolgoj pechal`noj razluki Kak mne vspomnit` tvoj golos, tvoj vzglyad, ochertan`ya licza I laskavshie nekogda mily'e, nezhny'e ruki? - YA ne znayu tebya posle dolgoj pechal`noj razluki, Posle slyoz bez koncza... Inogda... inogda, mne sdayotsya, tebya ya vstrechayu V vixre zhizni bezumnoj, v razgare lyudskoj suety', Zhdu tebya i zovu, vse dvizhen`ya tvoi zamechayu... Inogda... inogda, mne sdayotsya, tebya ya vstrechayu, No vglyazhus` - net, ne ty'!... E`to by'lo davno... YA ne pomnyu, kogda e`to by'lo... No bessonny'e nochi, no dumy'... Kak zhutko togda, Kak mne xochetsya schast`ya, kak proshloe blizko i milo!... E`to by'lo davno... YA ne pomnyu, kogda e`to by'lo... No so mnoj ty' vsegda!...
