V mojom sadu (Bal'mont, set by S. Prokofiev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


V mojom sadu mercajut rozy belyje,
Mercajut rozy belyje i krasnyje.
V mojej dushe drozhat mechty
Nesmelyje stydlivyje, no strastnyje.

Tebja ja videl tol'ko raz, ljubimaja,
No tol'ko raz mechta s mechtoj vstrechajetsja.
V mojej dushe ljubov' nepobedimaja
Gorit i ne konchajetsja.

Lico tvojo ja vizhu poblednevsheje,
Volnu volos, kak prjadi snov soglasnyje,
V glazakh tvojikh priznan'je potemnevsheje
I guby, guby krasnyje.

S toboj poznal ja tol'ko raz, ljubimaja,
To jarkoje, chto schast'jem nazyvajetsja.
O ten' moja, besplotnaja, no zrimaja,
Ljubov' ne zabyvajetsja.

Moja ljubov' p'jana, kak grozdi spelyje,
V mojej dushe zvuchat prizyvy strastnyje.
V mojom sadu mercajut rozy belyje
I jarko, jarko-krasnyje.
