Ne veter veja s vysoty (Tolstoy, set by G. Catoire, N. Rimsky-Korsakov, A. Rubinstein, S. Taneyev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 Ne veter, veja s vysoty,
 Listov kosnulsja noch'ju lunnoj.
 Mojej dushi kosnulas' ty.
 Ona trevozhna, kak listy,
 Ona, kak gusli, mnogostrunna.

 Zhitejskij vikhr' jejo terzal
 I sokrushitel'nym nabegom,
 Svistja i voja, struny rval
 I zanosil kholodnym snegom.

 Tvoja zhe rech' laskajet slukh,
 Tvojo legko prikosnoven'je,
 Kak ot cvetov letjashchij pukh,
 Kak majskoj nochi dunoven'je.
