Otvori mne, strazh zaoblachny'j
Language: Russian (Русский)
Otvori mne, strazh zaoblachny'j, Goluby'e dveri dnya. Bely'j angel e`toj polnoch`yu Moego uvel konya. Bogu lishnego ne nadobno, Kon` moj – moshh` moya i krep`. Sly'shu ya, kak rzhet on zhalobno, Zakusiv zlatuyu cep`. Vizhu, kak on b`etsya, mechetsya, Terebya tugoj arkan, I letit s nego, kak s mesyacza, Sherst` bulanaya v tuman.
