Ya budu dolgo gnat velosiped

Nikolay Rubtsov prozhil korotkuyu zhizn', no ostavil v russkoy poezii yarkiy sled. Yego po-nastoyashchemu vystradannaya tikhaya lirika pronikayet v dushu, a mnogiye stroki tak i prosyatsya na muzyku i zvuchat - uzhe mnogo let - v nashikh lyubimykh pesnyakh: Uleteli list'ya s topoley, YA budu dolgo gnat' velosiped, V gornitse moyey svetlo, Nagryanuli.
