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


Vse v zhizni neverno i smert' lish' odna 
verna, neizmenno verna!
Vse kinet, minujet, zabudet, projdjot, 
ona ne minujet, najdot, najdot,
Pokinutykh, skorbnykh, poslednykh iz nas,
do moshki nezrimoj dlja glaz 
ona ne zabudet, pridjot, prigo lubit
obnimet, na veki poljubit 
i brachnyj svoj tjazhkij nadenet venec, 
i zhiznennoj skazke konec.
