Bolero (Anonymous, set by C. Cui) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


O, moj milyj, nenagljadnyj,
Plyvi skorej: ljubov' ne zhdjot!
Chas svidan'ja, chas otradnyj
Nam noch' dushistaja nesjot.

Vdali napev znakomyj l'jotsja,
Vot belejet parus na volnakh,
Pevec plyvet, pevec nesjotsja
S mandolinoju v rukakh.

Lodka mchitsja s tikhim pleskom,
Strujki shepchut v tishine,
I almaznym svetit bleskom
Dal' rechnaja pri lune.

Blizhe, blizhe pesn' slyshna,
Zhdat' ne stalo sily...
Vot on, vot on u okna, 
Nenagljadnyj, milyj.

O moj milyj nenagljadnyj,
Plyvi skoreje...
I s balkona naklonjajas',
I prekrasna, i bledna,
Pri lune k nemu laskajas',
Strastnoj nezhnosti polna,
Obnjala jego ona.

I l'jutsja s neba sveta volny,
Zvuchit, kak prezhde, shepot struj;
Zamolkla pesn', usta bezmolvny,
Kak vzdokh, pronessja poceluj...
