Текст песни Николай Некрасов - Нравственный человек

MORAL PERSON

1

Living according to strict morality,
I have done no harm to anyone in my life.
My wife, covering her face with a veil,
In the evening I went to her lover;
I sneaked into his house with the police
And he caught ... He called out: I didn't fight!
She went to bed and died
Tormented by shame and sorrow ...
Living according to strict morality,
I have done no harm to anyone in my life.

My friend did not present the debt to me on time.
I, hinting in a friendly way to him,
The law has given us to judge:
The law sentenced him to prison.
He died in it without paying an altyn,
But I'm not angry, even though there is a reason to be angry!
I forgave him the debt that day
Honoring him with tears and sorrow ...
Living according to strict morality,
I have done no harm to anyone in my life.

I gave the peasant to the cook:
He succeeded; a good cook is happiness!
But often absent from the yard
And the name of an obscene addiction
Had: loved to read and reason.
I'm tired of threatening and scolding,
Fatherly slapped him with a canal,
He took it and drowned himself: he found the crap!
Living according to strict morality,
I have done no harm to anyone in my life.

I had a daughter; fell in love with the teacher
And I wanted to run away with him in a temper.
I threatened her with a curse: resigned
And she married a gray-haired rich man.
Their house was shining and full like a cup;
But Masha suddenly began to turn pale and fade away
And a year later she died in consumption,
Having struck the whole house with deep sorrow ...
Living according to strict morality,
I have done no harm to anyone in my life ...
