Peterburgskaja Pesnja (Blok, set by G. Sviridov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Khozhu, brozhu ponuryj,
Odin v svojej nore.
Pridjot sharmanshchik khmuryj,
Zaplachet na dvore...

O toj svobodnoj dole,
Chto mne ne suzhdena,
O tom, chto veter v pole
I na dvore - vesna.

A mne - kakoje delo?
Brozhu odin, zabyt.
I svechka dogorela,
I majatnik stuchit.

Odna, odna nadezhda 
Von tam, v jejo okne.
Svetla jejo odezhda,
Ona pridjot ko mne.

Lico mojo beleje,
Chem belaja ona...
Opjat', opjat' srobeju,
Kogda pridjot ona...

Zachem ona prikhodit
So mnoju govorit'?
Zachem v iglu provodit
Veselen'kuju nit'?

Zachem ona ronjajet
Veselyje slova?
Zachem lico sklonjajet
I prjachet v kruzheva?

Ved' nechego bojat'sja,
I nechego terjat'...
No nado li skazat'sja?
No mozhno li skazat'?

I chto jej molvit' - nezhnoj?
Chto serdce rascvelo?
Chto veter vejet snezhnyj?
Chto v komnate svetlo?
