Pogodi! Dlya chego toropit`sya!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pogodi! Dlya chego toropit`sya! Ved` i tak zhizn` nesetsya streloj! Pogodi! Pogodi! ty' uspeesh` prostit`sya, Kak luchami vostok zagoritsya. No dozhdyomsya l` my' nochi takoj? Posmotri, posmotri, kak chudesno Ubran zvezdami kupol nebesny'j! Kak mechtatel`no smotrit luna! Kak temno v e`toj seni drevesnoi, I kakaya vezde tishina! Tol`ko sly'shno, kak shepchut beryozy', Da stuchit serdce v py'lkoj grudi... Vozdux ves` polon zapaxom rozy'... Mily'j drug! E`to zhizn`, a ne gryozy'! Zhizn` letit... pogodi! Zhizn` letit... pogodi!
