Kudesnik
Language: Russian (Русский)
V starom zamke, za goroju, Odinokij zhil kudesnik... Byl na ty on s satanoju - Tak pojotsja v staroj pesne... Byl osoboj on zakvaski: Ne ljubil on vkusa pudry I ne veril zhenskoj laske, Potomu chto byl on mudryj! No bez zhenskoj laski, Pravo, zhizn' kak budto khromonoga... Den'gi, pochesti i slava bez ljubvi? Da nu ikh k bogu! I sidel on vecher kazhdyj, O vzaimnosti toskuja. I zadumal on odnazhdy Sdelat' zhenshchinu takuju, Chtob ona byla dushoju Napodobije kristalla, Ne branilas' jezhednevno i ne lgala! I, sklonjas' k svoim retortam, Sdelal zhenshchinu kudesnik, Ibo byl, na ty on s chjortom - Tak pojotsja v staroj pesne. I chista i neporochna iz retorty V rezul'tate vyshla zhenshchina... Nu, tochno lotos Ganga v zhenskom plat'e! I s ulybkoj ochen' miloj celyj den' Ona nesmelo za kudesnikom khodila I v glaza jemu smotrela. I nemedlja, po prikazu vse zhelan'ja ispolnjala I ne vskriknula ni razu, I ni razu ne solgala... Rovno cherez dve nedeli Vyshel iz domu kudesnik I povesilsja na jeli... Tak pojotsja v staroj pesne!
