Razve nepravda
Language: Russian (Русский)
Razve nepravda, chto zhemchuzhina v uksuse tajet, chto verbena osvezhajet vozdukh, chto nezhno golubej vorkovan'e? Razve nepravda, chto ja - pervaja v Aleksandrii po roskoshi dorogikh uborov, po cennosti belykh konej i serebrjanoj sbrui, po dline chernykh kos khitrospletennykh? Chto nikto ne umejet podvesti glaza menja iskusnej i kazhdyj palec napitat' otdel'nym aromatom? Razve nepravda, chto s tekh por, kak ja tebja uvidala, nichego ja bol'she ne vizhu, nichego ja bol'she ne slyshu, nichego ja bol'she ne zhelaju, kak videt' tvoi glaza, serye pod gustymi brovjami, i slyshat' tvoj golos? Razve nepravda, chto ja sama dala tebe ajvu, otkusivshi, posylala opytnykh napersnic, platila tvoi dolgi do togo, chto prodala imen'e, i vse ubory otdala za ljubovnye napitki? I razve nepravda, chto vsjo `eto bylo naprasno? No pust' pravda, chto zhemchuzhina v uksuse tajet, chto verbena osvezhajet vozdukh, chto nezhno golubej vorkovan'e, - budet pravdoj, budet pravdoj i to, chto ty menja poljubish'!
