Esli b sčast'e moë bylo vol'nym orlom
Language: Russian (Русский)
Esli b sčast'e moë bylo vol'nym orlom, Esli b gordo on v nebe paril golubom, - Natjanula b ja luk svoj pevučej streloj, I živoj ili mertvyj, a byl by on moj! Esli b sčast'e moë bylo čudnym cvetkom, Esli b ros tot cvetok na utese krutom, - JA dostala b ego, ne bojas' ničego, Sorvala b i upilas' dychan'em ego! Esli b sčast'e moë bylo redkim kol'com I zaryto v reke pod sypučim peskom, - JA b rusalkoj za nim opustilas' na dno, Na ruke u menja zablistalo b ono! Esli b sčast'e moë bylo v serdce tvoëm, - Den' i noč' ja by žgla ego tajnym ognem, Čtoby, mne bez razdela navek otdano, Tol'ko mnoj trepetalo i bilos' ono!
