Kogda ja prozreval
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda ja prozreval vpervye, Navstrechu zhazhdushchej mechte Luchi metnulis' zarevye I trubnyj angel v vysote. No torzhestva ne vynosila Pustynnoj zhizni sujeta, Bezzubym smekhom iskazila Vsjo, chem zhiva byla mechta. Zamolkli angel'skije truby, Nemotstvujet dnevnaja noch'. Verni mne, zhizn', khot' smekh bezzubyj, Chtob v tishine ne iznemoch'!
