Spi, moj drug molodoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Spi, moj drug molodoj, Kak rebyonok v lyul`ke, Snom nevinnoj dushi, Ne znavavshej gorya. Ne minuesh` sud`by' I nastanet vremya, Podrostesh`, stanesh` zhit` I poplachesh` v volyu. No teper` spi sebe mirno, bezzabotno, Snitsya radost` tebe, schast`e i vesel`e. YA glyazhu na tebya i glazam ne veryu: E`to Angel lezhit v detskoj koly'beli. YA b zhelal, chtob ves` vek Zdes` stoyat` mne prishlos` I glyadet` i glyadet` I ne naglyadet`sya. YA b zhelal, chtoby' ty' tak by'la schastliva, Kak tvoj son molodoj Tix i bezmyatezhen`. YA b zhelal, no zhelat` znachit vremya tratit`. Spi, moj drug molodoj, Spi, pokuda spitjsa. Spi, moj drug molodoj, Kak rebyonok v lyul`ke, Snom nevinnoj dushi, Ne znavavshej gorya. Ne minuesh` sud`by' I nastanet vremya, Podrostesh`, stanesh` zhit` I poplachesh` v volyu. No teper` spi sebe mirno, bezzabotno, Snitsya radost` tebe, schast`e i vesel`e.
