Ja zhdu tebja (Davidova, set by S. Rachmaninov, D. Arakishvili) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ja zhdu tebja! Zakat ugas, 
I nochi tjomnyje pokrovy
Spustit'sja na zemlju gotovy 
I sprjatat' nas.

Ja zhdu tebja! Dushistoj mgloj 
Noch' napojila mir usnuvshij,
I razluchilsja den' minuvshij
Na vek s zemlej.

Ja zhdu tebja! Terzajas' i ljubja,
Schitaju kazhdyja mgnoven'ja,
Polna toski i neterpen'ja.
Ja zhdu tebja!
