Ja uvidel tebja (Krylov, set by C. Cui) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ja uvidel tebja 
I nevol'no zo mne 
Chudnoj siloj, chudnoj siloj ljubov' 
Zarozhdajetsja:
I teper' o tebe
Na javu i vo sne,
Mne tak sladko, tak mirno 
Mechtajetsja.

Ja uvidel tebja; 
Tvoj privetlivyj vzor,
Rech' tvoja dobrodushnaja, nezhnaja
Mne blazhenstvo suljat, 
Mne tajkom govorjat,
Chto ljublju ne sovsem beznadezhno ja.

Otchego zhe, ditja, 
Ty bojish'sja skazat' 
Chto i ty, chto i ty ne chuzhda 
Uvlechenija.
I zachem nashe chuvstvo 
Svjatoje skryvat'
Radi zloby ljudskago 
Suzhdenija?

Ne mogu ja, moj drug, 
`Etu lozh' perenest',
I po mne jesli zhizn' 
Ulybajetsja,
Nado brat' u nejo, 
Chto v nej luchshego jest',
Schast'je dvazhdy k ham redko 
Javljajetsja.
