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


V roshche zelenoj, nad tikhoj rekoj
Veet i v'etsja dymok goluboj
I, ot kostra podymajas', stolbom
Tikho plyvet nad sosednim kustom.

Belaja polnoch' tikha i jasna,
V vozdukhe vkradchivo veet vesna,
Veet, i nezhit, i k zhizni zovet,
Nezhit, laskaet i pesnju poet.

Chudnaja pesnja! Prislushajsja k nej:
Smolknite, slezy i stony ljudej,
Ja, kak vakkhanka, vernulas' k zemle
S chashej v rukakh i venkom na chele...
