Dolina Iosafata (Bunin, set by Y. Klepalov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Otrada smerti strazhdushchim dana.
Vy pobeleli, stranniki, ot pyli,
Sredi vragov, v chuzhikh krajakh vy byli.
No vot vam otdykh, mir i tishina.

Gora poldnevnym solncem sozhzhena,
Ruslo Kedrona vetry issushili.
No v prakh otcov vy posokhi slozhili,
Vas obrela rodimaja strana.

V nej spjat cari, proroki i levity.
V blazhennyje obiteli jeja
Vsekh, chto v chuzhbine ne byli ubity,
Sbirajet miloserdyj Sudija.

Po zhestkim sklonam kamennyje plity
Stojat raskrytoj Knigoj Bytija.
