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?
