Svechka dogorala (Fofanov, set by N. Cherepnin) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Svechka dogorala, spat' davno pora by.
Ty ponik golovkoj, zakryvaesh' glazki,
A jeshchjo vsjo khochesh' slushat' nashi skazki, 
Kak v lesu dremuchem u koldun'i-baby

Zakipajet v chanakh mnogo strashnykh zelij,
Kak Ivan-carevich jedet k charodeju,
Kak v potoke shumnom posredi ushchelij
On vstrechaet Lebed' - laskovuju feju.

O, ditja, pover' nam: net prekrasnej skazki
Toj, kotoroj uchit nas sud'ba-starushka.
Tak zabud' zhe bred nash, tak zakroj zhe glazki
Zhdjot tebja postel'ka, zhdjot tebja podushka.
