Nye vyedma, nye koldunya
Ko mnye yavilas v dom,
Nye v poru polnolunya,
A lyetnim, yasnym dnyem...
"Obychno na rassvyetye
Ya prikhozhu, vo snye,
No vsye nye tak na etot raz..."
Ona skazala mnye
"Ustalost, nyenavist i bol,
Byezumya tyemnyy strakh...
Ty dyerzhish tsyelyy ad zyemnoy
Kak nyebo, na plyechakh!
Lyuboy iz vas byezumyen
V lyubvi i na voynye,
No zhizn nye zvuk, chtob obryvat...",
Ona skazala mnye
Tam, vysoko nyet nikogo
Tam takzhye odinoko, kak i zdyes
Tam, vysoko - byeg oblakov
K pogasshyey mnogo lyet nazad zvyezdye
"Poka ty zhiv, nye umiray,
Na etot mir vzglyani -
U mnogikh zdyes dusha myertva,
Oni myertvy vnutri!
No khodyat i smyeyutsya,
Nye znaya, chto ikh nyet...
Nye toropi svoy smyertnyy chas",
ona skazala mnye
"Sbyezhat ot zhizni mozhno
Ot smyerti - nikogda.
Sama zhizn krylya slozhit
I ya vyernus syuda..."
Nye vyedma, nye koldunya
Yavilas v dom ko mnye,
A lyetnim dnyem ispit vody
Zashla sluchayno smyert
