Gde ty, prelestnyj kraj (Anonymous, set by A. Aliabev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Gde ty, prelestnyj kraj, rodimaja strana?
Tam bystro protekli mladencheskije gody!
Kak nebo chistoje, tam zhizn' byla jasna,
I ja togda ne znal ni bur', ni nepogody.
Kuda sokrylis' vy, prelestnyje mechty,
Minuty luchshije serdechnoj prostoty!
Jeshchjo ja ne zabyl posledneje mgnoven'je,
Kogda v toske nemoj s slezami na ochakh
Mne dal otec rodnoj svoje blagosloven'je
I schast'ja mne zhelal v nevedomykh krajakh.
