Kogda ya tebya v pervy'j raz vstretil
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda ya tebya v pervy'j raz vstretil, ne pomnit bednaya pamyat`: utrom li to by'lo, dnem li, vecherom ili pozdneyu noch`yu. Tol`ko pomnyu blednovaty'e shheki, sery'e glaza pod temny'mi brovyami i sinij vorot u smugloj shei, i kazhetsya mne, chto ya videl e`to v rannem detstve, xotya i starshe tebya ya mnogim.
