Bezumnyj žrec šël mnogo dnej
Language: Russian (Русский)
Bezumnyj žrec šël mnogo dnej bez otdycha i sna. Moi mečty -- miry tenej. Ljubov', ljubov' -- odna. I v dal'nij chram, s žezlom v rukach, vošël on kak prorok. Moi mečty -- svjaščennyj prach. Ljubov' moja -- moj rok. Molilsja dolgo on odin i slëz unjat' ne mog. Mečty moi -- snega veršin. Moja ljubov' -- potok. I k žertve prigotovil on svjatynju altarja. Moi mečty -- rassvetnyj son. Ljubov', ljubov' -- zarja.
