`Eolovy arfi (Maykov, set by C. Cui) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Zasukha!.. Vozdukh spit... I nebesa molchat...
I arf `eolovykh bezmolven grustnyj rjad...
Te arfy - `eto vy, pevcy mojej otchizny!
To obraz vashikh dush, ispolnennykh toskoj,
Mechtoj zaoblachnoj i grustnoj ukoriznoj!..
Molchat oni, molchat, kak arfy v `etot znoj!..
No jesli b mimo ikh promchalsja vikhrem genij
I zhizni dukh pakhnul v rodimoj storone -
Navstrechu novykh sil i novykh otkrovenij
Kakimi b zvukami otkliknulis' one!..
