Davno v ljubvi (Fet, set by S. Rachmaninov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Davno v ljubvi otrady malo:
Bez otzyva vzdokhi, bez radosti sljozy;
Chto bylo sladko, gor'ko stalo,
Osypalis' rozy, rassejalis' grjozy.
Ostav' menja, smeshaj s tolpoju!
No ty otvernulas', a setujesh' vidno,
I vsjo jeshchjo bol'na ty mnoju.
O, kak zhe mne tjazhko i kak mne obidno!
