Ne probuzhdaj (Davydov, set by A. Mosolov, Shparvart, A. Zhivotov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ne probuzhdaj, ne probuzhdaj
Mojikh bezumstv i isstuplenij,
I mimoletnykh snovidenij
Ne vozvrashaj, ne vozvrashaj! 

Ne povtorjaj mne imja toj,
Kotoroj pamjat' - muka zhizni,
Kak na chuzhbine pesn' otchizny
Izgnanniku zemli rodnoj. 

Ne voskreshaj, ne voskreshaj
Menja zabyvshije napasti,
Daj otdokhnut' trevogam strasti
I ran zhivykh ne razdrazhaj. 

Il' net! Sorvi pokrov doloj!.. 
Mne legche gorja svojevol'je,
Chem lozhnoje kholodnokrov'je,
Chem moj obmanchivyj pokoj.
