Kudesnik
Language: Russian (Русский)
V starom zamke, za goroju, Odinokij žil kudesnik... Byl na ty on s satanoju - Tak poëtsja v staroj pesne... Byl osoboj on zakvaski: Ne ljubil on vkusa pudry I ne veril ženskoj laske, Potomu čto byl on mudryj! No bez ženskoj laski, Pravo, žizn' kak budto chromonoga... Den'gi, počesti i slava bez ljubvi? Da nu ich k bogu! I sidel on večer každyj, O vzaimnosti toskuja. I zadumal on odnaždy Sdelat' ženščinu takuju, Čtob ona byla dušoju Napodobie kristalla, Ne branilas' ežednevno i ne lgala! I, sklonjas' k svoim retortam, Sdelal ženščinu kudesnik, Ibo byl, na ty on s čërtom - Tak poëtsja v staroj pesne. I čista i neporočna iz retorty V rezul'tate vyšla ženščina... Nu, točno lotos Ganga v ženskom plat'e! I s ulybkoj očen' miloj celyj den' Ona nesmelo za kudesnikom chodila I v glaza emu smotrela. I nemedlja, po prikazu vse želan'ja ispolnjala I ne vskriknula ni razu, I ni razu ne solgala... Rovno čerez dve nedeli Vyšel iz domu kudesnik I povesilsja na eli... Tak poëtsja v staroj pesne!
