Kolybel'naja pesnja (Bryusov, set by R. Glière) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Devochka daljokaja,
spi, mechta moja!
Pesnja odinokaja
nad toboj, kak ja.

Pesnja kolybel'naja,
slozhennaja mnoj,
stranno nerazdel'naja
s chutkoj tishinoj.

`Eto otzvuk tajushchij
prezhnikh strastnykh slov,
otzvuk umirajushchij
v tikhoj bezdne snov.

Slovno rech' bessvjaznaja,
pamjat' luchshikh dnej...
A byla almaznaja
raduga ognej!

Dremlesh' ty pod penije
v kolybeli t'my...
Bud' khot' na mgnovenije
schastliva, kak my!

I v minutu zhguchuju,
ot ljubvi mertva,
vspomni noch' pevuchuju,
tikhije slova!

Spi, moja daljokaja,
v khrame bytija,
pesnja odinokaja -
vsja ljubov' moja!
