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


Pod kiparisami starymi
serebritsja pribrezhnaja glad'.
K miloj idu ja s gitaroju,
chtoby pesnjaam jejo obuchat'.

No uchit' besplatno mne net okhoty:
Ja beru s nejo poceluj za notu.
Stranno, chto ona k utru uznajot,
vsjo krome not! 

Zhal', chto nachat' snova pozdno!
Zhal', chto uzhe svetel vozdukh!
Zhal', chto i dnjom ne drozhat puglivo
Nad zalivom zvjozdy... 

V zvjozdochkakh nebo beskrajnee,
imi znojnaja polnoch polna.
Miloj mojej nazyvaju ja
vsekh beschislennykh zvjozd imena.

Ja poznan'jami dorozhu svoimi
I beru s nejo poceluj za imja.
Stranno, chto urok kazhetsja jej prost -
vsjo krome zvjozd!
