by Mikhail Alekseyevich Kuzmin (1872 - 1936)

Razve nepravda
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Razve nepravda,
chto zhemchuzhina v uksuse taet,
chto verbena osvezhaet vozdux,
chto nezhno golubej vorkovan`e?

Razve nepravda,
chto ya - pervaya v Aleksandrii
po roskoshi dorogix uborov,
po cennosti bely'x konej i serebryanoj sbrui,
po dline cherny'x kos xitrospletenny'x?
Chto nikto ne umeet
podvesti glaza menya iskusnej
i kazhdy'j palecz napitat`
otdel`ny'm aromatom?

Razve nepravda,
chto s tex por, kak ya tebya uvidala,
nichego ya bol`she ne vizhu,
nichego ya bol`she ne sly'shu,
nichego ya bol`she ne zhelayu,
kak videt` tvoi glaza,
sery'e pod gusty'mi brovyami,
i sly'shat` tvoj golos?

Razve nepravda,
chto ya sama dala tebe ajvu, otkusivshi,
posy'lala opy'tny'x napersnicz,
platila tvoi dolgi do togo,
chto prodala imen`e,
i vse ubory'
otdala za lyubovny'e napitki?
I razve nepravda,
chto vsyo e`to by'lo naprasno?

No pust` pravda,
chto zhemchuzhina v uksuse taet,
chto verbena osvezhaet vozdux,
chto nezhno golubej vorkovan`e, -
budet pravdoj,
budet pravdoj
i to,
chto ty' menya polyubish`!
