Seroje plat'jice (Gippius, set by S. Prokofiev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Devochka v seren'kom plat'jice...
Kosy kak budto iz vaty...
- Devochka, devochka, ch'ja ty?
- Mamina... ili nich'ja.
Khochesh', budu tvoja?
Devochka v seren'kom plat'jice...

- Verish' li, devochka, laske?
Milaja, gde tvoji glazki?
- Vot oni, glazki. Pustyje.
U mamochki tochno takije.
Devochka v seren'kom plat'jice...

- A chem `eto ty igrajesh'?
Chto ot menja zakryvajesh'?
Vremja igrat' mne, chto ty!
Mnogo speshnoj raboty.
To u businok nit' raskushu,
To pervyj rostok podsushu,
Vyrezaju iz knig stranichki,
Lomaju kryl'ja u ptichki...
Devochka v seren'kom plat'jice...

- Devochka s glazmi pustymi,
Skazhi mne, kak tvojo imja?
- A po-svojemu zovjot menja vsjak:
Khochesh' `edak, a khochesh' tak.
Odin zovjot Razdelen'jem,
A to Vrazhdoju, zovut i Somnen'jem,
Ili Toskoju, inoj zovjot Skukoju,
Inoj Mukoju...
A mama Smert' - Razlukoju
Devochka v seren'kom plat'jice...
