Ja ne vernus'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja ne vernus', dusha drozhit ot boli, Ja strasti prizrakom, pover', ne obmanus'... Dostojnym byt' mne khvatit sily voli, Ty tak i znaj, ja ne vernus'. V chuzhom kraju, ko vsem strastjam kholodnyj, Stradal'cem dni skorej vlachit' reshus'. Okovy proch', khochu ja byt' svobodnym. O, ne zovi, ja ne vernus'. Ne posylaj svoikh mne pisem milykh, Ja `etikh strok ljubvi, lukavykh strok bojus', Ne obeshchaj, chego ty dat' ne v silakh, Da-da, moj drug, ja ne vernus'. Ved' ja ushjol, tebja ne proklinaja, A sdelat' zla tebe ne soglashus'. Pokoja zhdjot dusha moja bol'naja. O, poshchadi... Ja ne vernus'.
