Davno‑l', moj drug
Language: Russian (Русский)
Davno-l', moj drug, tvoj vzor pechal'nyj Ja v rasstavan'ja smutnyj mig lovil. Chtob luch jego proshchal'nyj Nadolgo v dushu mne pronik. Davno-l', bluzhdaja odinoko, V tolpe tesnjashchej i chuzhoj K tebe zhelannoj i dalekoj Ja mchalsja grustnoju mechtoj. Zhelan'ja gasli... Serdce nylo... Stojalo vremja... Um molchal... Davno-l' zatish'e `eto bylo? No vikhr' svidan'ja nabezhal... My vmeste vnov', i dni nesutsja, Kak v more voln letuchikh stroj, I mysl' kipit, i pesni l'jutsja Iz serdca, polnogo toboj!
