Pogodi! Dlja chego toropit'sja!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pogodi! Dlja chego toropit'sja! Ved' i tak zhizn' nesetsja streloj! Pogodi! Pogodi! ty uspejesh' prostit'sja, Kak luchami vostok zagoritsja. No dozhdjomsja l' my nochi takoj? Posmotri, posmotri, kak chudesno Ubran zvezdami kupol nebesnyj! Kak mechtatel'no smotrit luna! Kak temno v `etoj seni drevesnoi, I kakaja vezde tishina! Tol'ko slyshno, kak shepchut berjozy, Da stuchit serdce v pylkoj grudi... Vozdukh ves' polon zapakhom rozy... Milyj drug! `Eto zhizn', a ne grjozy! Zhizn' letit... pogodi! Zhizn' letit... pogodi!
