Grjozy (Meisner, set by A. Gretchaninov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Unesemsja skorej 
ot zemli ot ljudej
v mir dalekij inoj
polnyj tajny nemoj!

Nashi koni mechty.
V nikh zhivitel'nyj svet,
v nikh ljubvi, krasoty, 
pervoj strasti rascvet...

Uletim zhe skorej! 
Mrak uzh roshchi odel,
drug nochej solovej 
gromko pesnju zapel.

Vot nochnoj veterok
po vetvjam probezhal,
i listku uzh listok
o ljubvi prosheptal.

Koni rvutsja, drozhat, 
na dyby podnjalis'
I uzh mchatsja, letjat, 
rvutsja, drozhat', 
mchatsja, letjat 
V bezpredel'nuju vys'...
 
Mchimsja my. Nam luna 
shlet privet,
nas zari pelena 
v svoj okutala svet... 

Zvezdy jarkoj tolpoj 
nas vse dal'she vlekut 
i ulybkoj nemoj 
v mir svoj tajnyj zovut...

My letim, my plyvem, snom 
ispolnjas' zhivym
My razskazhem o njom
tol'ko zvezdam nochnym.
