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


 Aromatnoj, vesenneju noch'ju
 Ja na nebo gljazhu nenagljadno
 Kogda more, usnuvshee noch'ju
 Tak prekrasno, tak mirno otradno.

 Kogda slyshu, kak zlak prozjabajet
 I kak p'jot on dykhanije nochi,
 Tebja serdce mojo prizyvajet,
 Tebja vidjat vo vsjom moji ochi.

 Budto smotrish' ty temi zvezdami,
 Budto dyshesh' dykhan'jem prirody,
 Rascvetajesh' nochnymi cvetami,
 Naseljajesh' i vozdukh i vody.

 Kogda slyshu vechernije zvuki, 
 Te, chto l'jutsja, chto v vozdukhe tajut,
 I tajinstvenno s schastijem muki
 I s pokojem trevogu meshajut.

 Togda kazhetsja, budto nezrimo
 Ty ko mne izdaljoka nesesh'sja,
 Budto, chuju, promchalasja mimo,
 Budto plamenem po serdcu l'josh'sja.

 Chto rodnogo, skazhi mne, sokryto
 V `etoj nochi i v zvukakh s toboju 
 I kakaja struna u nikh slita
 S mojim serdcem, s mojeju sud'boju.
