Unesemsja skorej ot zemli ot ljudej v mir dalekij inoj polnyj tajny nemoj! Naši koni mečty. V nich živitel'nyj svet, v nich ljubvi, krasoty, pervoj strasti rascvet... Uletim že skorej! Mrak už rošči odel, drug nočej solovej gromko pesnju zapel. Vot nočnoj veterok po vetvjam probežal, i listku už listok o ljubvi prošeptal. Koni rvutsja, drožat, na dyby podnjalis' I už mčatsja, letjat, rvutsja, drožat', mčatsja, letjat V bezpredel'nuju vys'... Mčimsja my. Nam luna šlet privet, nas zari pelena v svoj okutala svet... Zvezdy jarkoj tolpoj nas vse dal'še vlekut i ulybkoj nemoj v mir svoj tajnyj zovut... My letim, my plyvem, snom ispolnjas' živym My razskažem o nëm tol'ko zvezdam nočnym.
