Minula strast'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Minula strast', i pyl eë trevožnyj Uže ne mučit serdca moego, No razljubit' tebja mne nevozmožno! Vsë, čto ne ty - tak suetno, tak ložno, Vsë, čto ne ty - bescvetno i mertvo. Bez povoda i prava negoduja, Už ne kipit buntujuščaja krov', No s pošloj žizn'ju slit'sja ne mogu ja, Moja ljubov', o drug, i ne revnuja, Ostalas' ta že prežnjaja ljubov'.
