Stranicy milyje (Fet, set by A. Arensky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Stranicy milyje opjat' persta raskryli,
Ja snova umiljon i trepetat' gotov,
Chtob veter il' ruka chuzhaja ne sronili
Zasokhshikh, odnomu mne vedomykh cvetov...

O, kak nichtozhno vsjo! Ot zhertvy zhizni celoj,
Ot `etikh pylkikh zhertv i podvigov svjatykh
Lish' tajnaja toska v dushe osiroteloj
Da teni blednyje u lepestkov sukhikh!

No imi dorozhit mojo vospominan'je,
Bez nikh vsjo proshloje - odin zhestokij bred,
Bez nikh - odin ukor, bez nikh - odno terzan'je,
I net proshchen'ja, i primiren'ja net!
