Pojmi khot' raz (Fet, set by P. Tchaikovsky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Pojmi khot' raz tosklivoje priznan'je,
Khot' raz uslysh' dushi moljashchej ston!
Ja pred toboj, prekrasnoje sozdan'je,
Bezvestnykh sil dykhan'jem okryljon.

Ja obraz tvoj lovlju pered razlukoj,
Ja polon im, [i mleju, i]¹ drozhu, -
I, bez tebja tomjas' predsmertnoj mukoj,
Svojej toskoj, kak schast'jem, dorozhu.

[Jejo poju]², vo prakh upast' gotovyj,
Ty predo mnoj stojish', kak bozhestvo --
I ja blazhen: ja v kazhdoj muke novoj
Tvojej krasy predvizhu torzhestvo.
