Poslushaj, byt' mozhet (Lermontov, set by A. Arensky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Poslushaj, byt' mozhet,
Kogda my pokinem navek etot mir,
Gde dushoju tak stynem,
Byt' mozhet, v strane,
Gde ne znajut obmana,
Ty angelom budesh,
Ja demonom stanu.
Kljanisja togda pozabyt', dorogaja,
Dlja prezhnego druga
Vsjo schastije raja,
Pust' mrachnyj izgnannik, sud'boj osuzhdennyj,
Tebe budet rajem,
A ty mne - vselennoj.
