Proshchaj, Grenada! (Bolotin, set by D. Shostakovich) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Proshchaj, Grenada, moja Grenada,
S toboj naveki mne rasstat'sja nado!
Proshchaj, ljubimyj kraj, ochej uslada,
Navek proshchaj! Akh!
Budet pamat' o tebe moej
Edinstvennoj otradoj
Moj ljubimyj, moj rodimyj kraj!
 
Navek mne serdce toska pronzila,
Pogiblo vsjo, chto v zhizni bylo milo,
Moja ljubov' ushla vo mrak mogily,
I zhizn' ushla! Akh!
I vokrug mne vsjo postylo,
Zhit' kak prezhde, net uzh sily
Tam gde junost' tak byla svetla!
