O chjom mechtajut deti (Gradov, set by A. Khachaturian) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 Vezde na belom svete,
 Vezde mechtajut deti
 O toj strane, gde mraka net,
 Gde solnce jarko svetit, -
 O nashej miloj Rodine,
 Gde s pesnjami prokhodim my,
 Ne znaja gorja i nevzgod, -
 Strany sovetskoj deti.

Pripev:
    Mechtaja, deti
    Znajut i verjat:
    Vsjudu vesna rascvetet.
    Veter vesennij
    Tuchi razvejet, -
    Solnce nad mirom vzojdjot!

 Vezde na belom svete,
 Vezde mechtajut deti
 Prijekhat' k nam vesennim dnjom
 V stranu, gde solnce svetit.
 Projti poljami, roshchami,
 Projti po Krasnoj ploshchadi,
 Uvidet' zvjozdy nad Kremlem
 Vezde mechtajut deti.

 I vse, o chjom na svete
 Vezde mechtajut deti,
 Druz'ja, my vidim kazhdyj den',
 Prosnuvshis' na rassvete:
 My vidim ploshchad' Krasnuju,
 Na bashnjakh zvjozdy jasnyje,
 Nikto ne smozhet pogasit'
 Rodnyje zvjozdy `eti.
