Davno li cvel (Marschak, set by V. Kazenin) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Davno li cvel zelenyj dol,
Les shelestel listvoj,
I kazhdyj list byl svezh i chist
Ot vlagi dozhdevoj.

Gde `etot letnij raj?
Lesnaja glush' mertva.
No snova maj pridet v nash kraj
I zashumit listva...

No ni vesnoj, ni v letnij znoj
S sebja ja ne strjakhnu
Tjazhelyj sled proshedshikh let,
Pechal' i sedinu.

Pod starost' kratok den',
A noch' bez sna dlinna.
I dvazhdy v god k nam ne pridet
Schastlivaja vesna.
