Zvezdy jasnyja (Fofanov, set by N. Cherepnin, Dunayevsky, D. Kalinnikov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Zvezdy jasnyja, zvezdy prekrasnyja
Nasheptali cvetam skazki chudnyja,
Lepestki ulybnulis' atlasnyje,
Zadrozhali listy izumrudnyje;

I cvety op'janennyje rosami
razskazali veetram skazki nezhnyja
I raspeli ikh vetry mjatezhnyje,
Nad zemlej, nad volnoj, nad utesami.

I zemlja pod vesennimi laskami,
Narjazhajasja tkan'ju zelenoju,
Perepolnila zvezdnymi skazkami
Moju dushu bezumno vljublennuju...

I teper' v `eti dni mnogo trudnyje,
V `eti tjomnyja nochi, nenastnyja
Otdaju ja vam zvezdy prekrasnyja,
Vashi skazki zadumchivo chudnyja.
