Bolero
Language: Russian (Русский)
O deva chudnaya moya, Tvoej lyubov`yu schastliv ya! Pripav chelom k moej grudi V nemom vostorge taesh` ty'. Tak mnogo plameni v ochax! Tak mnogo negi na ustax! Trepeshhet grud`, ty' vsya drozhish`. Bez slov ty' klyatvy' mne darish`. Lobzan`e dlitsya bez rechej. YA p`yu vostorg lyubvi tvoej V nevozmutimoj tishine. No esli ty' izmenish` mne... O deva bednaya moya! I dik i mrachen budu ya, I buryu smerti pody'mu Tebe i drugu tvoemu! Dy'mitsya krov`, nesyotsya krik, A ya k ustam tvoim prinik, YA rvu poslednij zvuk rechej, Poslednij vzor tvoix ochej. Lyubvi kry'laty'e mechty', Nadezhdy', schast`e - vsyo prosti; YA videl vas v kovarnom sne, No net - ty' ne izmenish` mne.
