My otdokhnjom (Chekhov, set by S. Rachmaninov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


My otdokhnjom! My uslyshim angelov,
My uvidim vsjo nebo v almazakh,
My uvidim, kak vsjo zlo zemnoje,
Vse nashi stradanija potonut v miloserdiji,
Kotoroje napolnit soboju ves' mir,
I nasha zhizn' stanet tikhoju,
nezhnoju, sladkoju, kak laska.
Ja veruju, veruju... 
My otdokhnjom... My otdokhnjom.
