Ja vas ljubil (Pushkin, set by A. Aliabev, C. Cui, A. Dargomyzhsky, N. Medtner, S. Razorenov, A. Sheremetev, F. Tolstoy) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ja vas ljubil: ljubov' jeshchjo, byt' mozhet,
V dushe mojej ugasla ne sovsem;
No pust' ona vas bol'she ne trevozhit:
Ja ne khochu pechalit' vas nichem.

Ja vas ljubil bezmolvno, beznadezhno,
[ To robost'ju, to revnost'ju tomim:]¹
Ja vas ljubil tak iskrenno, tak nezhno,
Kak daj vam Bog ljubimoj byt' drugim.
