Ja ne vernus'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja ne vernus', duša drožit ot boli, JA strasti prizrakom, pover', ne obmanus'... Dostojnym byt' mne chvatit sily voli, Ty tak i znaj, ja ne vernus'. V čužom kraju, ko vsem strastjam cholodnyj, Stradal'cem dni skorej vlačit' rešus'. Okovy proč', choču ja byt' svobodnym. O, ne zovi, ja ne vernus'. Ne posylaj svoich mne pisem milych, JA ėtich strok ljubvi, lukavych strok bojus', Ne obeščaj, čego ty dat' ne v silach, Da-da, moj drug, ja ne vernus'. Ved' ja ušël, tebja ne proklinaja, A sdelat' zla tebe ne soglašus'. Pokoja ždët duša moja bol'naja. O, poščadi... JA ne vernus'.
