`Eto bylo davno
Language: Russian (Русский)
`Eto bylo davno... Ja ne pomnju, kogda `eto bylo... Proneslis', kak viden'ja, i kanuli v vechnost' goda, Utomlennoje serdce o proshlom teper' pozabylo... `Eto bylo davno... Ja ne pomnju, kogda `eto bylo, Mozhet byt', nikogda... Ja ne znaju tebja... Posle dolgoj pechal'noj razluki Kak mne vspomnit' tvoj golos, tvoj vzgljad, ochertan'ja lica I laskavshije nekogda milye, nezhnye ruki? - Ja ne znaju tebja posle dolgoj pechal'noj razluki, Posle sljoz bez konca... Inogda... inogda, mne sdajotsja, tebja ja vstrechaju V vikhre zhizni bezumnoj, v razgare ljudskoj sujety, Zhdu tebja i zovu, vse dvizhen'ja tvoi zamechaju... Inogda... inogda, mne sdajotsja, tebja ja vstrechaju, No vgljazhus' - net, ne ty!... `Eto bylo davno... Ja ne pomnju, kogda `eto bylo... No bessonnye nochi, no dumy... Kak zhutko togda, Kak mne khochetsja schast'ja, kak proshloje blizko i milo!... `Eto bylo davno... Ja ne pomnju, kogda `eto bylo... No so mnoj ty vsegda!...
