Slyshu li golos tvoj (Lermontov, set by M. Balakirev, M. Glinka, A. Glazunov, A. Rubinstein) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Slyshu li golos tvoj 
Zvonkij i laskovyj,
[Kak ptichka v kletke, 
Serdce zaprygajet]¹;

Vstrechu l' glaza tvoji, 
[Lazurno-glubokije]²,
[Dusha im navstrechu]³ 
[Iz]⁴ grudi prositsja,

I kak-to veselo, 
I khochetsja plakat',
I tak na sheju by 
K tebe ja kinulsja.
