Istomlennaja gorem (Maykov, set by C. Cui) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Istomlennaja gorem, vse vyplakav sljozy,
   Na rukakh u menja, kak mladenec, ty spish';
Na lice tvojom krotkom poslednjaja duma
   S neotertoj poslednej slezinkoj drozhit.
Ty zasnula, bezmolvno menja ukorjaja,
   Chto beschuvstven k slezam ja kazalsja tvoim...
Ne zatem li skvoz' son ty teper' ulybnulas',
   Tochno slyshish', chto, grustno smotrja na tebja,
Tikho njancha tebja na rukakh, kak mladenca,
   Ja stradaju, kak ty, i zaplakat' gotov?
