Poslednij razgovor (Polonsky, set by S. Taneyev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Solovej pojot v zatish'je sada;
ogon'ki potukhli za prudom;
noch' tikha... Ty, mozhet byt', ne rada,
chto s toboj ostalsja ja vdvojom?

Ja b i sam zhelal s toboj rasstat'sja,
da mne zhal' pokinut' tu skam'ju,
gde mechtam ty ljubish' predavat'sja
i vnimat' nochnomu solov'ju.

Ne smushchajsja! Ni o tom, chto bylo;
ni o tom, kak mog by ja ljubit';
ni o tom, kak `eto serdce nylo,
ja s toboj ne stanu govorit'.

Rech' moja volnujet i trevozhit...
Veseleje solov'ju vnimat',
ottogo, chto solovej ne mozhet
zabluzhdat'sja i, ljubja, stradat'.

No i on zatikh vo mrake nochi;
uletel schastlivec na pokoj...
Pozhelaj i mne spokojnoj nochi
do grjadushchego svidanija s toboj!

Pozhelaj mne nochi ne zametit'
i drugim ochnut'sja v nebesakh,
gde b ja mog tebja dostojno vstretit'
s solov'jinoj pesneju v ustakh!
