Ljublju, jesli tikho (Maykov, set by C. Cui) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ljublju, jesli, tikho k plechu mojemu golovoj prislonivshis',
S ljubov'ju ty smotrish', kak, ochi potupiv, ja dumaju dumu,
A ty ugadat' jejo khochesh'. Nevol'no proniknut toboju,
Ja ochi k tebe obrashchu i s tvojimi v strechajus' ochami,
I my ulybnemsja bezmolvno, kak budto by v sladkom molchan'ji
My mysl'ju soshlisja i mnogo skazali ulybkoj i vzorom.¹
