S toboj moja pechal' (Merezhkovsky, set by A. Rubinstein) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


S toboj, moja pechal', my starye druz'ja:
Byvalo, dver' na kljuch revnivo zapiraja,
Prikhodish' ty ko mne, zadumchivo-nemaja,
Vo vzorakh tjomnoje predchuvstvie taja;
Kholodnuju, kak led, no laskovuju ruku
      Na serdce tikho mne kladjosh'
I chto-to miloje, zabytoje pojosh',
Chto navevajet grust', chto utoljajet muku.
I golubym ognjom gorjat tvoji glaza,
   I v nikh drozhit, i s nikh upast' ne mozhet,
   I serdce mne tajinstvenno trevozhit
      Bol'shaja, krotkaja sleza...
