V nebo unosyatsya gor'kie zhaloby
Traurnyh kolokolov.
Plachut monahi, rydayut monahi -
Oni poteryali lyubov'.
Prygayut v plyas, zadravshi ryasy,
Ot kraya do kraya zari.
Smotryat na nebo i ischut po knigam
Sledy nastoyaschej lyubvi.

No gde ona zhivet, vechnaya lyubov'?
Uzh ya to k nej vsegda gotov.
Vechnaya lyubov', chistaya mechta,
Netronutaya tishina.

Rimskij papa razbil vse ikony
I sam vzorval Vatikan.
Muchaya zrenie, ischet znamenie
I proklinaet Islam.

Tol'ko ne vernut' vechnuyu lyubov'
Slepoe znamya durakov.
Vechnaya lyubov', chistaya mechta,
Netronutaya tishina.


No gde ona zhivet, vechnaya lyubov'?
Uzh ya to k nej vsegda gotov.
Vechnaya lyubov', chistaya mechta,
Netronutaya tishina.
