Pesn' Zemfiry
Language:
Russian
Aleko:
Ili pod sen'ju dymnoj kushchi
Cygana dikogo rasskaz?
[...]1
Solo (Zemfira):
Staryj muzh, groznyj muzh,
Rezh' menja, zhgi menja:
Ja tverda; ne bojus'
[Ni nozha, ni ognja]2.
Nenavizhu tebja,
Preziraju tebja;
Ja drugogo ljublju,
Umiraju ljubja.
Aleko:
Molchi. Mne pen'je nadojelo,
Ja dikikh pesen ne ljublju.
Zemfira:
Ne ljubish'? Mne kakoje delo?
Ja pesnju dlja sebja poju.
Solo (Zemfira):
[Rezh' menja, zhgi menja
Ne skazhu nichego;
Staryj muzh, groznyj muzh,
Ne uznajesh' jego.]3
On svezheje vesny,
Zharche letnego dnja;
Kak on molod i smel!
Kak on ljubit menja!
[Kak laskala jego
Ja v nochnoj tishine!
Kak smejalis' togda
My tvojej sedine!]4
Aleko:
Molchi, Zemfira! ja dovolen...
Zemfira:
Tak ponjal pesnju ty moju?
Aleko:
Zemfira!
Zemfira:
Ty serdit'sja volen,
Ja pesnju pro tebja poju.
Solo:
Staryj muzh, groznyj muzh, itd...
