Bolit' dusha moja (Kandyba, set by K. Stetsenko) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Bolit' dusha moja, bolit'...
Pekuchij b[i]l' {i}{i} projma[e]...
A den' za dnem plive, b[i]zhit',
a tam [i] smert' strashna cheka[e]...

Ja zhiv... a shcho komu zrobiv?
Kudi ja d[i]v chuttja [i] dumi,
Koli j chi[e] zhittja zogr[i]v,
Kogo na sv[i]t ja viv[i]v z stumi?

Bazhav ja t[i]l'ki [i] sp[i]vav
Pro n[i]ch zeml[i], pro sjajvo neba
[I] v ljudi p[i]snju posilav
Za mene zd[i]jsniti, shcho treba.
