Spjashchaja Knjazhna (Anonymous, set by A. Borodin) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Spit, spit v lesu glukhom,
spit knjazhna volshebnym snom,
spit pod krovom tjomnoj nochi,
son skoval jej krepko ochi.
Spit, spit.

Vot i les glukhoj ochnulsja,
s dikim smekhom vdrug prosnulsja
ved'm i leshikh shumnyj roj
i promchalsja nad knjazhnoj.

Lish' knjazhna v lesu glukhom
spit vse tem zhe mjortvym snom.
Spit, spit.

Slukh proshjol, chto v les dremuchij
bogatyr' pridjot moguchij,
chary siloj sokrushit,
son volshebnyj pobedit
i knjazhnu osvobodit, osvobodit.

No prokhodjat dni za dnjami,
gody idut za godami...
Ni dushi zhivoj krugom,
vse ob"jato mjortvym snom.

Tak knjazhna v lesu glukhom
tikho spit glubokim snom;
son skoval jej krepko ochi,
spit ona i dni, i nochi.
Spit, spit.

I nikto ne znajet, skorol'
chas udarit probuzhden'ja.
