Ya pel o bogakh, i pel o geroyakh, o zvone klinkov, i krovavykh bitvakh
Pokuda sokol moy byl so mnoyu, mne klekot ego zamenyal molitvy
No vot uzhe god, kak on uletel - ego unesla koldovskaya metel'
Milogo druga pokhitila v'yuga, prishedshaya iz dalekikh zemel'
I sam ne svoy ya s etikh por, i plachut, plachut v nebe chayki
V tumane razlichit moy vzor lish' ochi tsveta gorechavki
Akh, videt' by mne glazami sokola, i v vozdukh by mne na kryl'yakh sokola
V toy chuzhoy sokolinoy strane, da ne vo sne, a gde-to okolo

Stan' moey dushoyu, ptitsa, day na vremya veter v kryl'ya
Kazhduyu noch' polet mne snitsya - kholodnye f'ordy, milya za miley
Shelkom - tvoi rukava, korolevna, belym vereskom - vyshity gory
Znayu, chto tam nikogda ya ne byl, a esli i byl, to sebe na gore
Esli b vspomnit', chto sluchilos' ne s toboy i ne so mnoyu
Ya mechus', kak palyy list, i net moey dushe pokoya
Ty platish' za pesnyu polnoy lunoyu, kak inye platyat zvonkoy monetoy
V dal'ney strane, ukrytoy zimoyu, ty krashe vesny i p'yanee leta

Prosypaysya, korolevna, nadevay-ka operen'e
Poletim s toboy v nenast'e - tonok led tvoikh zapyastiy
Shelkom - tvoi rukava, korolevna, zlatom-serebrom - vyshity per'ya
Ya smeyus' i vzmyvayu v nebo, ya i sam v sebya ne veryu

Podoydi ko mne poblizhe, day kosnut'sya operen'ya
Kazhduyu noch' ya gory vizhu, kazhdoe utro teryayu zren'e
Shelkom - tvoi rukava, korolevna, yasnym mesyatsem - vyshito nebo
Unesi i menya, veter severnyy, v te kraya, gde bol' i nebyl'
Kak bol'no znat', chto vse sluchilos' ne s toboy i ne so mnoyu
Vremya ne ostanovilos', chtob v okno vzglyanut' reznoe
O tebe, moya radost', ya mechtal nochami, no ty pechali plashchom odeta
Ya, konechno, eshche spoyu na proshchan'e, no pokinu tvoy dom - s luchom rassveta

Gde-to brodyat tvoi sny, korolevna
Daleko li do vesny v travakh drevnikh
Tol'ko povtoryat' ostalos' - para slov, kakaya malost'
Prosypaysya, korolevna, nadevay-ka operen'e

Mne l' ne znat', chto vse sluchilos' ne s toboy i ne so mnoyu
Serdtse ranit tvoya milost', kak strela nad tetivoyu
Ty platish' - za pesnyu lunoyu, kak inye platyat monetoy
Ya otdal by vse, chtoby byt' s toboyu, no, mozhet, tebya i na svete netu
Ty platish' - za pesnyu lunoyu, kak inye - monetoy
Ya otdal by vse, chtoby byt' s toboyu, no, mozhet, tebya i na svete netu
