`Ej, drug gitara!
Language: Russian (Русский)
V zhizni vse neverno i kaprizno, Dni begut, nikto ikh ne vernet. Nynche prazdnik, zavtra budet trizna, Nezametno starost' podojdjot. `Ej, drug gitara, Chto zvenish' nesmelo, Jeschjo ne vremja plakat' nado mnoj, - Pust' zhizn' proshla, vse proletelo, Ostalas' pesnja, pesnja v chas nochnoj! `Eti kudri derzko zolotye, Da uvjali v beloj sedine, Vspominat' te gody molodye Budem my s toboj najedine. `Ej, drug gitara, itd. Gde ty, junost', bez konca bez kraja, Otchego tak bystro proneslas', Neuzheli, skoro umiraja, Mne pridjotsja spet' v poslednij raz: `Ej, drug gitara, itd.
