Jest' drugije planety (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)


Jest' drugije planety, gde vetry pevuchije tishe,
Gde nebo bledneje, travy ton'she i vyshe,
Gde preryvisto l'jutsja peremennyje svety,
No svojej peremenoj tol'ko laskajut, smejutsja.

Jest' inyje planety, gde my byli kogda-to,
Gde my budem potom, ne teper', ne teper',
A kogda, poterjav, sebja poterjav bez vozvrata,
My budem ljubit' istomlennyje stebli sedykh
Shelestjashchikh trav bez aromata.

Tonkikh vysokikh, kak zvjozdy pechal'nykh,
Ljubjashchikh sonnyj pokoj mest pogrebal'nykh,
Nad nashej mogiloju spjashchikh
I tikho, tak tikho, tak sumrachno tikho
Pod lunoj shelestjashchikh.
