Rusalka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Esli možeš', pojmi. Esli chočeš', voz'mi. Ty odin mne ponravilsja meždu ljud'mi. Do tebja ja byla cholodna i bledna. JA s glubokogo, tichogo, temnogo dna. Net, pomedli. Sejčas zagoritsja dlja nas Molodaja luna. Vot - ty vidiš'? Zažglas'! Dyšit mrak goluboj. Nu, celuj že! Ty moj? Zdes'. I zdes'. Tak. I zdes'... Ach, kak sladko s toboj!
