Ja tebe nichego ne skazhu

Ja tebe nichego ne skazhu
[i]1 tebja ne vstrevozhu nichut',
i o tom, chto ja molcha tverzhu,
ne reshus' ni za chto nameknut'.

Celyj den' spjat nochnyje cvety,
no, lish' solnce za tuchi zajdjot,
[raskryvajutsja tikho listy,]2
i ja slyshu, kak serdce cvetjot...

I v bol'nuju, ustaluju grud'
vejet vlagoj nochnoj... Ja drozhu...
Ja tebja ne vstrevozhu nichut',
ja tebe nichego ne skazhu!
