Kudesnik
Language: Russian (Русский)
V starom zamke, za goroyu, Odinokij zhil kudesnik... By'l na ty' on s satanoyu - Tak poyotsya v staroj pesne... By'l osoboj on zakvaski: Ne lyubil on vkusa pudry' I ne veril zhenskoj laske, Potomu chto by'l on mudry'j! No bez zhenskoj laski, Pravo, zhizn` kak budto xromonoga... Den`gi, pochesti i slava bez lyubvi? Da nu ix k bogu! I sidel on vecher kazhdy'j, O vzaimnosti toskuya. I zadumal on odnazhdy' Sdelat` zhenshhinu takuyu, Chtob ona by'la dushoyu Napodobie kristalla, Ne branilas` ezhednevno i ne lgala! I, sklonyas` k svoim retortam, Sdelal zhenshhinu kudesnik, Ibo by'l, na ty' on s chyortom - Tak poyotsya v staroj pesne. I chista i neporochna iz retorty' V rezul`tate vy'shla zhenshhina... Nu, tochno lotos Ganga v zhenskom plat`e! I s uly'bkoj ochen` miloj cely'j den` Ona nesmelo za kudesnikom xodila I v glaza emu smotrela. I nemedlya, po prikazu vse zhelan`ya ispolnyala I ne vskriknula ni razu, I ni razu ne solgala... Rovno cherez dve nedeli Vy'shel iz domu kudesnik I povesilsya na eli... Tak poyotsya v staroj pesne!
