Ja pokinul rodimyj dom (Esenin) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ja pokinul rodimyj dom,
Golubuju ostavil Rus'.
V tri zvezdy bereznjak nad prudom
Teplit materi staroj grust'.

Zolotoju ljagushkoj luna
Rasplastalas' na tikhoj vode.
Slovno jablonnyj cvet, sedina
U otca prolilas' v borode.

Ja ne skoro, ne skoro vernus'.
Dolgo pet' i zvenet' purge.
Sterezhet golubuju Rus'
Staryj klen na odnoj noge,

I ja znaju, est' radost' v nem
Tem, kto list'ev celuet dozhd',
Ottogo chto tot staryj klen
Golovoj na menja pokhozh.
