Prostyje slova (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 - zvezda na polnochnom nebe,
 ty - vesennij cvetok polej;
 ty - rubin il' almaz blestjashchij,
 ty - luch solnca, vo t'me svetjashchij,
 charovnica i carica krasoty!
 Tak po strunam brjacaja lirnym,
 t'my pevcov o tebe pojut.
 Slavy nektar toboj izvedan,
 mne zh dar pesen ot boga ne dan,
 ja prostyje skazhu slova:
 ,,Ty - moj drug, ty - moja opora,
 ty - mne zhizn', ty mne vse i vsjo...
 Ty mne vozdukh i khleb nasushchnyj,
 ty - dvojnik moj jedinosushchnyj,
 ty - otrada i uslada dnej mojikh!
 Pust', po strunam brjacaja lirnym,
 t'my pevcov o tebe pojut.``
 Slavy nektar toboj izvedan,
 mne zh dar pesen ot boga ne dan,
 kak sumel, kak sumel, tak i skazal!
