Kak pesnja materi (Kuzmin, set by A. Aleksandrov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Kak pesnja materi
nad kolybel'ju rebenka,
kak gornoje `ekho,
utrom na pastushij rozhok otozvavshejesja,
kak dalekij priboj
rodnogo, davno ne vidennogo morja,
zvuchit mne imja tvojo
trizhdy blazhennoje: Aleksandrija!

Kak preryvistyj shepot
ljubovnykh pod dubami priznanij,
kak tainstvennyj shum
tenistykh roshch svjashchennykh,
kak tamburin Kibely velikoj,
podobnyj dal'nemu gromu i golubej vorkovan'ju,
zvuchit mne imja tvojo
trizhdy mudroje: Aleksandrija!

Kak zvuk truby pered bojem,
klekot orlov nad bezdnoj,
shum kryl'ev letjashchej Niki,
zvuchit mne imja tvojo
trizhdy velikoje: Aleksandrija!
