Smeyalis` bedny'e nevezhdy'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Smeyalis` bedny'e nevezhdy', Poxitil ya, mladoj pevecz, U beznadezhnosti — nadezhdy', U beskonechnosti — konecz. Mne samomu i dik i stranen Tot svet, kotory'j ya zazheg, YA sam svoej streloyu ranen, Sam pered novy'm iznemog. Idite mimo — pogibayu, Glumites` nad moej toskoj. Moj mir perezhivet, ya znayu, Menya i strashny'j smex lyudskoj.
