Smotri: von oblako (Grekov, set by P. Tchaikovsky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Smotri: von oblako nesetsja serebristoje;
Vezde vokrug nego sijajet nebo chistoje,
Kak molodost' prekrasnaja tvoja.
I utra blesk na nem tak jarko otrazhajetsja;
I tak ono svetlo, kak budto ulybajetsja -
Ono pokhozhe na tebja, ono pokhozhe na tebja.

Smotri: von tucha tam vykhodit odinokaja;
Ona temna, kak noch', kak grust' dushi glubokaja -
Ne prosvetlit jejo sijan'je dnja...
Byt' mozhet ottogo ona mrachna tak groznaja,
Chto s svetlym oblakom dana stezja jej roznaja,
Ona pokhozha na menja, ona pokhozha na menja.
