Bolero
Language: Russian (Русский)
O deva chudnaja moja, Tvojej ljubov'ju schastliv ja! Pripav chelom k mojej grudi V nemom vostorge tajesh' ty. Tak mnogo plameni v ochakh! Tak mnogo negi na ustakh! Trepeshchet grud', ty vsja drozhish'. Bez slov ty kljatvy mne darish'. Lobzan'e dlitsja bez rechej. Ja p'ju vostorg ljubvi tvojej V nevozmutimoj tishine. No jesli ty izmenish' mne... O deva bednaja moja! I dik i mrachen budu ja, I burju smerti podymu Tebe i drugu tvojemu! Dymitsja krov', nesjotsja krik, A ja k ustam tvoim prinik, Ja rvu poslednij zvuk rechej, Poslednij vzor tvoikh ochej. Ljubvi krylatye mechty, Nadezhdy, schast'e - vsjo prosti; Ja videl vas v kovarnom sne, No net - ty ne izmenish' mne.
