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


 Ty vnimajesh', vniz skloniv golovku,
 ochi opustiv i tikho vzdykhaja!
 Ty ne znajesh', kak mgnoven'ja
 `eti strashny dlja menja
 i polny znachen'ja,
 kak menja smushchajet
  `eto molchan'je.
 Ja prigovor tvoj zhdu,
  ja zhdu reshen'ja - 
 il' nozh ty mne v serdce vonzish',
 il' raj mne otkrojesh'.
 Akh, ne terzaj menja,
 skazhi lish' slovo!
 Ot chego zhe robkoje priznan'je
 v serdce tak tebe zapalo gluboko?
 Ty vzdykhajesh', ty drozhish' i plachesh';
 il' slova ljubvi v ustakh tvojikh
  nemejut, ili ty menja zhalejesh', ne ljubish'?
 Ja prigovor tvoj zhdu, ja zhdu reshen'ja -
 il' nozh ty mne v serdce vonzish',
 il' raj mne otkrojesh'.
 Akh, vnemnli zhe mol'be mojej,
 otvechaj, otvechaj skorej!
 ja prigovor tvoj zhdu, ja zhdu reshen'ja!
