Vospominanije (Pushkin, set by C. Cui, N. Medtner) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 Kogda dlja smertnogo umolknet shumnyj den'
 i na nemyje stogny grada
 poluprozrachnaja naljazhet nochi ten'
 i son,  dnevnykh trudov nagrada,
 v to vremja dlja menja vlachatsja v tishine
 chasy tomitel'nogo b den'ja:
 v bezdejstviji nochnom zhivej gorjat vo mne
 zmeji serdechnoj ugryzen'ja;
 mechty kipjat; v ume, podavlennom toskoj,
 tesnitsja tjazhkikh dum izbytok,
 vospominanije bez molvno predo mnoj
 svoj dlinnyj razvivajet svitok;
 i s otvrashchenijem chitaja zhizn' moju,
 ja trepeshchu, i proklinaju,
 i gor'ko zhalujus', i gor'ko sljozy l'ju,
 no strok pechal'nykh ne smyvaju.
