Pervaya vstrecha
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Spanish (Español)
Ty' u ruch`ya vody' mne dala kogdato, Svezhej vody', xolodnoj, kak sneg v ushhel`yax sinix gor. Nochi temnej tvoj vzor, v kosax aromat lepestkov dikoj myaty'... Vidish`, opyat` kruzhit xorovod, Buben gremit, zvenit i poyot. Kazhdy'j tanczor podruzhku vedyot, smotrit na nix, lyubuyas`, narod. Bej, moj buben bej, gremi, budto grom! S miloyu moej my' tanczuem vdvoyom. Lenta na tebe nebes golubej! Bej, moj buben, bej! Buben, bej! Buben bej! Mne ne zaby't` vovek e`toj pervoj vstrechi, Laskovy'x slov i smugloj ruki, i bleska chyorny'x glaz... Ponyal ya v e`tot chas, chto tebya lyublyu i lyubit` budu vechno!
