Kogda b ja znal (Anonymous, set by P. Kozlov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Kogda b ja znal, naprasno zhizni silu,
Naprasno by ja junost' ne terjal.
Tvoja ljubov' mne serdce istomila,
Kogda b ja znal, kogda b ja znal!

Kljalas' mne ty, i ja utratil grjozy,
Molilas' ty, molit'sja ja ne stal,
Rydala ty, i ja ne verju v sljozy,
Kogda b ja znal, kogda b ja znal!

Mutitsja um, v grudi toska nemaja,
Naprasno ja zabven'je prizyval.
Zab'venja net, tjazhjolyj put' konchaja,
Ja proshepchu: ,,Kogda b ja znal!``
