On tak menja ljubil (Apukhtin, set by P. Tchaikovsky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Net, ne ljubila ja! no strannaja zabota
Tesnila grud' moju, kogda on prikhodil;
To vsja krasnela ja, bojalasja chego to,
On tak menja ljubil, on tak menja ljubil!

Chtob nravit'sja jemu togda, cvety i te narjady
Ja beregla, chto on po serdcu nakhodil;
S nim govorila ja, jego lovila vzgljady, -
On tak menja ljubil, on tak menja ljubil!

No raz on mne skazal: ,,V tu roshchu,
v chas za kata pridjosh' li?`` -- ,,Da, pridu!``
No ne khvatilo sil. Ja v roshchu ne poshla,
on zhdal menja naprasno!

Togda ujekhal on, serdjas' na neudachu;
Neschastnyj, kak menja prokljast' on dolzhen byl!
Ja ne uvizhus' s nim, mne tjazhelo, ja plachu...
On tak menja ljubil, on tak menja ljubil!
