Ne slyshno shumu gorodskogo
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ne slyshno shumu gorodskogo, Nad nevskoj bashnej tishina, I bol'she net gorodovogo — Guljaj, rebjata, bez vina! Stoit burzhuj na perekrestke I v vorotnik uprjatal nos. A rjadom zhmetsja sherst'ju zhestkoj Podzhavshij khvost parshivyj pes. Stoit burzhuj, kak pes golodnyj, Stoit bezmolvnyj, kak vopros. I staryj mir, kak pes bezrodnyj, Stoit za nim, podzhavshi khvost.
