Pesn' v izgnanii (Botkin, set by M. Ippolitov-Ivanov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Vstavajte, vozhdi, vstavajte!
Ot vas narod spasen'ja zhdjot.
Syny Ijemena, gde slava prezhnikh dnej,
Gde diademy i korony vashikh carej?
Groznym potokom sud'ba ikh unesla.
Vsjo ischezlo, kak prizrak chudnogo sna.
Vrag shirokoj volnoj, razrushaja, idjot.
Starcev i zhjon, i detej v plen berjot.
Starcev i zhjon, i detej v plen vedjot.
Ty sprosi Kha`en, gde Sevil'ja!
Ty sprosi Kha`en, gde Kordova!

Vsjo ischezlo... Vsjo pogiblo
Pod mechom! V vikhre strashnom
Vojny uzhasnoj sozhglo,
Sozhglo vsjo ognjom.
Ne orosit bystryj potok nashikh polej,
Ne uslykhat' nam bol'she pesen docherej!
Vrag shirokoj volnoj, razrushaja, idjot,
Starcev i zhen, i detej v plen berjot.
Starcev i zhen, i detej v plen vedjot.
Plachet i stonet v rabstve tomimyj velikij narod!
