Romans Niny (Lermontov, set by A. Glazunov, A. Khachaturian) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Kogda pechal' slezoj nevol'noj
Promchitsja po glazam tvojim,
Mne videt' i ponjat' ne bol'no,
Chto ty neschastliva s drugim.

,,Nezrimyj cherv' nezrimo glozhet
Zhizn' bezzashchitnuju tvoju,
I chto zh? Ja rad, chto on ne mozhet
Tebja ljubit', kak ja ljublju.

,,No jesli schastije sluchajno
Blesnet v luchakh tvojikh ochej,
Togda ja muchus' gor'ko, tajno, 
I celyj ad v grudi mojej.``
