Sinica (Turgenev, set by P. Viardot) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Slyshu ja: zvenit sinica
Sred' zheltejushchikh vetvej...
Zdravstvuj, malen'kaja ptica,
Vestnica osennikh dnej!

Khot' grozit on nam nenast'em,
Khot' zimy on nam prorok,
Dyshit blagodatnym schast'em
Tvoj veselyj golosok.

Dyshit blagodatnym schast'em
Tvoj veselyj golosok.
V pesenke tvoej privetnoj
Slukh plenen uzheli zh moj

Lish' prirody bezotvetnoj
Ravnodushnoju igroj?
Il' bespechno raspevaet
I v tebe okhota zhit' -

Ta, chto ljudjam pomogaet
Smert' i zhizn' perenosit'?
Ta, chto ljudjam pomogaet
Smert' i zhizn' perenosit'?
