Kogda mne govorjat: "Aleksandrija" (Kuzmin, set by A. Aleksandrov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Kogda mne govorjat: "Aleksandrija",
ja vizhu belyje steny doma,
nebol'shoj sad s grjadkoj levkojev,
blednoje solnce osennego vechera
i slyshu zvuki dalekikh flejt.

Kogda mne govorjat: "Aleksandrija",
ja vizhu zvezdy nad stikhajushchim gorodom,
p'janykh matrosov v temnykh kvartalakh,
tancovshchicu, pljashushchuju "osu",
i slyshu zvuk tamburina i kriki ssory.

Kogda mne govorjat: "Aleksandrija",
ja vizhu bledno-bagrovyj zakat nad zelenym morem,
mokhnatyje migajushchije zvezdy
i svetlyje seryje glaza pod gustymi brovjami,
kotoryje ja vizhu i togda,
kogda ne govorjat mne: "Aleksandrija!"
