Kolokol'chik (Glinka, set by A. Verstovsky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


I mchitsja trojka udalaja
V Kazan' dorogoj stolbovoj,
I kolokol'chik - dar Valdaja -
Gusit, kachajas' pod dugoj...
Mladoj jamshchik bezhit s polnochi:
Jemu sgrustnulosja v tishi,
I on zapel pro jasny ochi,
Pro ochi devicy-dushi:
,,Akh, ochi, ochi golubyje!
Vy issushili molodca!
Zachem, o ljudi, ljudi zlyje,
Zachem razroznili serdca?
Teper' ja gor'kij sirotina!``
I vdrug makhnul po vsem po trem...
No ja rasstalsja s milym snom,
I chuzhezemnaja kartina
Sijala pyshno predo mnoj.
Nemeckij gorod... vse krasivo,
No ja v razdum'je molchalivo
Vzdokhnul po storone rodnoj.
