Pokinem, milaja (Golenishchev-Kutuzov, set by S. Rachmaninov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Pokinem, milaja,
shumjashchij krug
stolicy. Pora v rodimyj kraj,
pora v lesnuju glush'!
Ty slyshish'?
nas zovjot na volju iz temnicy
Vesny pobednoj shum
i pen'je ptic...
K chemu-zh nam usmirjat'
dushi volshebnyje poryvy?
Il' razljubila ty zheltejushchija nivy,
I roshchi svezhija,
i khmuryje leca,
Gde, pomnish',
my vdvojem zadumchivo bluzhdali
V vechernij chas,
kogda temnejut nebesa,
I molcha brodit vzor
v tumane spjashchej dali?
