Skazhite mne, zachem pylajut rozy
Language: Russian (Русский)
Skazhite mne, zachem pylajut rozy `Efirnoju dushoju po vesne I motyl'ka na utrennije sljozy Manjat, zovut privetlivo one? Skazhite mne! Skazhite mne, ne zvuki l' poceluja Dajut svoju garmoniju volne? I solovej, plenitel'no toskuja, O chjom pojot vo mgle i tishine? Skazhite mne! Skazhite mne, zachem tak serdce b'jotsja I chudnoje mne viditsja vo sne, To grust' po mne kholodnaja prol'etsja, To ja gorju v tomitel'nom ogne? Skazhite mne!
