`Epitafija (Bugayev, set by N. Medtner) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Zolotomu blesku veril,
A umer ot solnechnykh strel.
Dumoj veka izmeril,
A zhizn' prozhit' ne sumel.

Ne smejtes' nad mertvym po`etom:
Snesite jemu cvetok.
Na kreste i zimoj i letom
Moj farforovyj b'jotsja venok.

Cvety na njom pobity.
Obrazok polinjal.
Tjazhjolyje plity.
Zhdu, chtob ikh kto-nibud' snjal.

Ljubil tol'ko zvon kolokol'nyj
I zakat.
Otchego mne tak bol'no, bol'no!
Ja ne vinovat.

Pozhalejte, pridite;
Navstrechu venkom metnus'.
O, ljubite menja, poljubite -
Ja, byt' mozhet, ne umer, byt' mozhet, prosnus' - Vernus'!
