Testo di Knyazhe

Dolgo slushala molitvy gor'kikh trav, Dolgo plakala, svivala nit'yu dym, Pokachu teper' klubochek po mkham, Po pnyam da po kornyam, Po tenyam lesnym, I sama poydu za nim… Rovno desyat' let ya ne smykala glaz, Desyat' let ty spal spokoynym snom, moy knyaz'. No v noch' gneva vse ne tak, i zhena ne zhena, i dusha ne mila, I kogtey letuchikh staya razvernula kryla. Knyazhe moy, knyazhe, Shelkova pryazha Do vorot tvoikh mne dorogoy legla. Vrazhe moy, vrazhe, Grozna tvoya strazha, Chto zh ot menya-to ne uberegla? Chernoy bronzoyu okovany kholmy, Cherez serdtse prorastayut teni t'my. Teni-oborotni, temno-seryy mekh. Oh, gospodi, ne vvedi vo grekh! Ya udaryus' ozem' da rassyplyus' v prakh, No ya znayu — tebe nevedom strakh. Knyazhe moy, knyazhe, Shelkova pryazha Do vorot tvoikh mne dorogoy legla. Vrazhe moy, vrazhe, Grozna tvoya strazha, Chto zh ot menya-to ne uberegla? Cherez sem' smertey k tebe ya shla, Moy knyaz'. I zaklyat'ya set' tebe tkala, Moy vrag. Nakonets-to ya tebya nashla! Prosnis' I vzglyani na menya… Noch' gneva temna… Ya prishla bedoy, Dozhdevoy vodoy, Gor'koyu slezoy, Slepoy grozoy — Tak napeysya menya i umoysya mnoy, Osypaetsya vremya za spinoy… Chto mne delat' s soboy, Knyaz' moy, vrag moy, Moya bol', moy svet, Esli zhizni net, Esli noch' temna, Velika tsena? Mne ne uyti — Ty prosti, prosti, Prosti mne… Knyazhe moy, knyazhe, Shelkova pryazha Do vorot tvoikh mne dorogoy legla. Vrazhe moy, vrazhe, Grozna tvoya strazha, Chto zh ot menya-to ne uberegla?
