Venecija noch'ju (Fet, set by S. Taneyev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Lunnyj svet sverkajet jarko, 
Osypaja mramor plit;
Dremlet lev Svjatogo Marka,
I carica morja spit.

Po kanalam posrebrjonnym
Oprokinulis' dvorcy.
I blestjat veslom bessonnym
Zapozdalyje grebcy.

Zvjozd sijajut miriady,
Chutko v vozdukhe nochnom.
Osrebrjonnyje gromady
Vekovym usnuli snom.
