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


Ty u ruch'ja vody mne dala kogdato,
Svezhej vody, kholodnoj,
kak sneg v ushchel'jakh sinikh gor.
Nochi temnej tvoj vzor,
v kosakh aromat lepestkov dikoj mjaty... 
Vidish', opjat' kruzhit khorovod,
Buben gremit, zvenit i pojot.
Kazhdyj tancor podruzhku vedjot,
smotrit na nikh, ljubujas', narod. 
Bej, moj buben bej, gremi, budto grom!
S miloju mojej my tancujem vdvojom.
Lenta na tebe nebes golubej!
Bej, moj buben, bej! Buben, bej! Buben bej! 
Mne ne zabyt' vovek `etoj pervoj vstrechi,
Laskovykh slov i smugloj ruki,
i bleska chjornykh glaz...
Ponjal ja v `etot chas,
chto tebja ljublju i ljubit' budu vechno!
