Vetka sireni (Galperin, set by A. Voloshin) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


U vagona ja zhdal, rasstavajas' s toboj,
Polnyj grusti proshchal'nykh mgnovenij,
I v mechtakh o bylom, vsja dushoju so mnoj,
Ty mne brosila vetku sireni.

Rezkij golos zvonka nas ot dum otorval,
Naleteli potoki somnenij.
I, tebe gljadja vsled, ves' v slezakh celoval
Ja proshchal'nuju vetku sireni...

Pojezd gde-to ischez v seroj dymke vdali,
Proplyvali vechernije teni,
I bescel'no ja brel po doroge v pyli
S odinokoju vetkoj sireni.

Ja vernulsja k sebe... `Etot vecher unjos
Vse nadezhdy, vsju radost' stremlenij...
V `etu noch' otcvela ot ob"jatij i sljoz
Istomlennaja vetka sireni...
