,,Gde, vy'sokaya, tvoj cy'ganenok,
Tot, chto plakal pod cherny'm platkom,
Gde tvoj malen`kij pervy'j rebenok,
Chto ty' znaesh`, chto pomnish` o nem?``

``Dolya materi - svetlaya py'tka,
YA dostojna eyo ne by'la.
V bely'j raj rastvorilas` kalitka,
Magdalina sy'nochka vzyala.

Kazhdy'j den` moj - vesely'j, xoroshij,
Zabludilas` ya v dlinnoj vesne,
Tol`ko ruki toskuyut po noshe,
Tol`ko plach ego sly'shu vo sne.

Stanet serdce trevozhny'm i tomny'm,
I ne pomnyu togda nichego,
Vse brozhu ya po komnatam temny'm,
Vse ishhu koly'bel`ku ego.``
