Koketka (Andreyev, set by Shtutsman) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Govorjat, chto ja koketka,
Chto ljubit' ja ne khochu,
I vidali, kak neredko
Ravnodushijem plachu.

A vidali l', kak ja plachu,
Nevozmozhnost' poljubja,
Sily devstvennyje trachu,
Polny divnogo ognja?

A vidali l', kak ukradkoj,
Zatajiv poryv strastej,
Ja celuju obraz sladkij,
Schast'je, zhizn' dushi mojej?

A vidali l', k izgolov'ju
Kak priniknuv v more grjoz,
Obol'jotsja serdce krov'ju,
Glaza vynojut ot sljoz?
