Zabyt' tak skoro

Zabyt' tak skoro, bozhe moj,
Vsjo schast'je zhizni prozhitoj!
Vse nashi vstrechi, razgovory,
Zabyt' tak skoro, zabyt' tak skoro!

Zabyt' volnen'ja pervykh dnej,
Svidan'ja chas v teni vetvej!
Ochej nemyje razgovory,
Zabyt' tak skoro, zabyt' tak skoro!

Zabyt', kak polnaja luna
Na nas gljadela iz okna,
Kak kolykhalas' tikho shtora...
Zabyt' tak skoro, zabyt' tak skoro, tak skoro!

Zabyt' ljubov', zabyt' mechty, 
Zabyt' te kljatvy pomnish' ty, pomnish' ty, pomnish' ty?
V nochnuju pasmurnuju poru, v nochnuju pasmurnuju poru,
Zabyt' tak skoro, zabyt' tak skoro!
Bozhe moj!
