Ja ne znaju, s kakikh por
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja ne znaju, s kakikh por `Eta pesenka nachalas', — Ne po nej li shurshit vor, Komarinyj zvenit knjaz'? Ja khotel by ni o chem Jeshche raz pogovorit', Proshurshat' spichkoj, plechom Rastolkat' noch', razbudit'; Raskidat' by za stogom stog, Shapku vozdukha, chto tomit; Rasporot', razorvat' meshok, V kotorom tmin zashit. Chtoby rozovoj krovi svjaz', `Etikh sukhon'kikh trav zvon, Uvorovannaja nashlas' Cherez vek, senoval, son.
