by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893)
Tak čto že?
Language: Russian (Русский)
Tvoj obraz svetlyj, angel'skij I denno i nošno so mnoj; I slëzy, i grëzy, I žutkie, strašnye sny, Ty vsë napolnjaeš' soboj! Ty vsë napolnjaeš' soboj! Tak čto že? Čto že? Čto že? Chot" muč', da ljubi! JA tajnu strasti pagubnoj Gluboko choronju; A ty koriš', stydom jazviš'! Ty tol'ko terzaeš' menja Bezžalostnoj, gruboj nasmeškoj, Bezžalostnoj, gruboj nasmeškoj! Tak čto že? čto že? čto že? Terzaj, da ljubi! Tebe do groba veren ja, No ty každyj den', každyj čas Izmenoju jad v serdce l'ëš' Ty žizn' otravljaeš' moju! Net, ja ne snesu ėtoj muki! Net žalosti v serdce tvoëm! Tak čto že? čto že? čto že? Ubej, no ljubi!
