Umy'valis`, odevalis`, Posle nochi celovalis`, Posle nochi, polnoj lask. Na servize lilovatom, Budto s gostem, budto s bratom, Pili chaj, ne snyavshi mask. Nashi maski uly'balis`, Nashi vzory' ne vstrechalis`, I usta nashi nemy'. Peli «Fausta», igrali, Budto nochi my' ne znali, Te, nochny'e, te — ne my'.
