Landysh (Tchaikovsky, set by A. Arensky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 O landysh, otchego ty radujesh' tak vzory?
 Drugije jest' cvety, roskoshnej i pyshnej,
 I jarche kraski ikh, i veselej uzory,
 No prelesti v nikh net tajinstvennoj tvojej.

 V chem tajna `etikh char? Chto ty dushe veshchajesh'?
 Chem manish' ty k sebe i serdce veselish'? 
 Il' radostej bylykh ty prizrak voskreshajesh'?
 Ili blazhenstvo mne grjadushcheje sulish'?

 Ne znaju, no menja tvojo blagoukhan'je,
 Kak vinnaja struja, laskajet i manit;
 Kak muzyka, ono stesnjajet mne dykhan'je
 I, kak ogon' ljubvi, pitajet zhar lanit.
