Umyvalis', odevalis'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Umyvalis', odevalis', Posle nochi celovalis', Posle nochi, polnoj lask. Na servize lilovatom, Budto s gostem, budto s bratom, Pili chaj, ne snjavshi mask. Nashi maski ulybalis', Nashi vzory ne vstrechalis', I usta nashi nemy. Peli «Fausta», igrali, Budto nochi my ne znali, Te, nochnye, te — ne my.
