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


Gde ty, zvezda moja zavetnaja,
 Venec nebesnoj krasoty?
Ocharovan'e bezotvetnoje
 Snegov i lunnoj vysoty?

Gde molodost', prostaja, chistaja,
  V krugu ljubimom i rodnom,
I staryj dom, i jel' smolistaja
  V sugrobakh belykh pod oknom?

Pylaj, igraj stocvetnoj siloju,
  Neugasimaja zvezda,
Nad dal'neju mojej mogiloju,
  Zabytoj bogom navsegda!
