И руки льнут к рукам | И руки льнут к рукам, и очи смотрят в очи

by Rabindranath Tagore (1861 - 1941)

И руки льнут к рукам

Language: Russian (Русский) after the English

И руки льнут к рукам, и очи смотрят в очи - 
Так прост наш гимн сердец в сиянье этой ночи.
Луна нам тихо светит, струится аромат,
И флейта, и гирлянда в забвении лежат.
Зачем теперь мне звуки, зачем тебе цветы.
Проста любовь, как песня, здесь только я да ты.
И смотрят очи в очи, и льнут к устам уста.
Меж мною и тобою любовь, как песнь, проста.
