Est' takie dorogi - nazad ne vedut.
Na chuzhom beregu ya priliv steregu.
Parusa obmanuv, veter stikh navsegda,
Ploskim zerkalom stala morskaya voda.
Obernut'sya by lentoy v chuzhikh volosakh,
Plyt' k tebe do rassveta, ne vedaya strakh,
Shelkom v ruki rodnye opustit'sya legko -
Vspominay moe imya, prikasaysya rukoy.
Ya po dnu by morskomu navstrechu poshla,
Tol'ko v kompase starom slomalas' igla.
Parus stersya do dyr ot palyashchikh svetil,
Da i veter poputnyy menya nevzlyubil.
Veter, brat ty moy, veter, za chto oserchal?
Khoronyu v sebe bol' i venchayu pechal'.
Burunami morskimi probezhat' nelegko -
Vspominay moe imya, prikasaysya rukoy.
Tretiy god ya zovu - tol'ko ekho v otvet,
Obmanul menya veter, zaputal tvoy sled.
Tol'ko stal' tvoikh glaz ne zabyt' nikogda,
A v grudi ledyanaya morskaya voda.
Obernut'sya by lentoy v chuzhikh volosakh!
Plyt' k tebe do rassveta, ne vedaya strakh,
Shelkom v ruki rodnye opustit'sya legko -
Vspominay moe imya...
Veter, brat ty moy, veter, za chto oserchal?
Khoronyu v sebe bol' i venchayu pechal'.
Burunami morskimi probezhat' nelegko -
Vspominay moe imya, prikasaysya rukoy.
