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


Mat' dala tebe ochi zvjozdy,
Nezhnyj cvet tvoikh smuglykh shchjok,
Milaja moja!
S bol'ju v serdce noch'ju pozdnej
Bez tebja ja brozhu, odinok,
Milaja moja!
Akh za chto ja nakazan byl sud'boj?
Akh, zachem povstrechalsja ja s toboj?
Ja umru ot ljubvi bezumnoj,
Esli ty ne poljubish' menja,
Milaja moja! 
Mat' dala tebe stan vysokij,
Chjornyj blesk nepokornykh kudrej,
Milaja moja!
Proklinaju rok zhestokij,
Bol' i muki dushi mojej.
Milaja moja!
O, zachem zhe tebe symela mat'
Mne nazlo krasotu takuju dat'?
Ja umru ot ljubvi bezumnoj,
Esli ty ne poljubish' menja,
Milaja moja!
