Spi, moj drug molodoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Spi, moj drug molodoj, Kak rebjonok v ljul'ke, Snom nevinnoj dushi, Ne znavavshej gorja. Ne minujesh' sud'by I nastanet vremja, Podrostesh', stanesh' zhit' I poplachesh' v volju. No teper' spi sebe mirno, bezzabotno, Snitsja radost' tebe, schast'e i vesel'e. Ja gljazhu na tebja i glazam ne verju: `Eto Angel lezhit v detskoj kolybeli. Ja b zhelal, chtob ves' vek Zdes' stojat' mne prishlos' I gljadet' i gljadet' I ne nagljadet'sja. Ja b zhelal, chtoby ty tak byla schastliva, Kak tvoj son molodoj Tikh i bezmjatezhen'. Ja b zhelal, no zhelat' znachit vremja tratit'. Spi, moj drug molodoj, Spi, pokuda spitjsa. Spi, moj drug molodoj, Kak rebjonok v ljul'ke, Snom nevinnoj dushi, Ne znavavshej gorja. Ne minujesh' sud'by I nastanet vremja, Podrostesh', stanesh' zhit' I poplachesh' v volju. No teper' spi sebe mirno, bezzabotno, Snitsja radost' tebe, schast'e i vesel'e.
