Den' otoshjol (Golenishchev-Kutuzov, set by A. Arensky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Den' otoshjol. Bezzvuchnoj nochi t'ma
Vozdviglas' vdrug nezyblemoj stenoju,
No poln jeshchjo zabotoju dnevnoju 
Ne smolknul bred ustavshego uma.

O, zamolchi! Daj vlast' mechte nochnoj!
Pust' razvernjot shater svoj zlatotkannyj,
Pust' zazvuchit v tishi blagoukhannoj
Napevom strun na arfe nezemnoj.

Chtob doletal napev tot do menja,
Chtob grezy mne gljadeli prjamo v ochi,
Chtob, vnemlja jim, v ob"jat'je `etoj nochi
Ja otdokhnul ot sujetnogo dnja.
