Ya ne vernus`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya ne vernus`, dusha drozhit ot boli, YA strasti prizrakom, pover`, ne obmanus`... Dostojny'm by't` mne xvatit sily' voli, Ty' tak i znaj, ya ne vernus`. V chuzhom krayu, ko vsem strastyam xolodny'j, Stradal`cem dni skorej vlachit` reshus`. Okovy' proch`, xochu ya by't` svobodny'm. O, ne zovi, ya ne vernus`. Ne posy'laj svoix mne pisem mily'x, YA e`tix strok lyubvi, lukavy'x strok boyus`, Ne obeshhaj, chego ty' dat` ne v silax, Da-da, moj drug, ya ne vernus`. Ved` ya ushyol, tebya ne proklinaya, A sdelat` zla tebe ne soglashus`. Pokoya zhdyot dusha moya bol`naya. O, poshhadi... YA ne vernus`.
