OK, here's the traditional Russian lyrics once more (I'm on IE now, the text, coding win/cyr, should be visible this time, at least preview shows it.) For the translation see my posting from 4/Oct/99 in this thread:


Äîðîãîé äëèííîþ


Åçäèëè íà òðîéêå ñ áóáåíöàìè
à âäàëè ìåðöàëè îãîíüêè
êàáû ìíå ñîêîëèêè äà ñ âàìè
äóøó áû ðàçâåÿòü îò òîñêè

Ïðèïåâ:
        Äîðîãîé äëèííîþ è íî÷üþ ëóííîþ
        è ñ ïåñíåé òîé, ÷òî â äàëü ëåòèò çâåíÿ
        è ñ òîé ñòàðèííîþ, ñ òîé ñåìèñòðóííîþ
        ÷òî ïî íî÷àì òàê ìó÷èëà ìåíÿ

Êàê áû ÿ áåç ãîðåñòè, áåç ìóêè

è òâîè ñåðåáðÿííûå ðóêè
ñ òðîéêîé óëåòåâøåé íàâñåãäà

Ïðèïåâ:

òðîéêè òîé òåïåðü íå âîçâðàòèòü
ìîæåò áûòü îäíàæäû äîðîãàÿ
òû ìåíÿ ñâåç¸øü ïîõîðîíèòü

Ïðèïåâ:


Poka again!

ps Has anybody got a clue why cut&paste&submit of Russian from MSWord -or WP for that matter- does work on IE, but not on NSc or Opera? Mind you, it shows ok locally on those as well, but as soon as submitted it turns, should I say, into an interrogative mode.
