Rastyot strana
Language: Russian (Русский)
Rastyot strana stupen`kami, rastut goda, tovarishhi. My' sami po stroitel`stvu, ravnyaem zhizni srok. No molodost`, tovarishhi, uxodit vniz po lestnice I na proshhan`e darit mne sedeyushhij visok. K drugim idyot veselaya, a mne eshhyo ne veritsya, Chto molodost`, kak lastochku, nel`zya zazhat` v ruke. Chto kazhdy'j den` neschitany'j, nedumany'j, poteryanny'j, Chto e`tot den`, tovarishhi, kak volos na viske. Proshhaj, tovarishh` molodost`! Na e`tom perekrestochke Rasstanemsya, lyubimaya, po druzheski s toboj. Druz`ya moi, tovarishhi, eshhyo my' ochen` molody', Eshhyo my' budem schastlivy', xotya visok sedoj.
