Spi! (Khomyakov, set by M. Balakirev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Dnjom naigravshis', nateshivshis', k nochi zabylsja ty snom;
Spi, ulybajas', maljutka: vesennego utra luchom 
Zhizn' molodaja, igraja, blestit v snoviden'ji tvojom.
Spi! Spi!

Truzhenik, v goresti, v radosti, put' ty svershajesh' zemnoj;
Utrom otmerennyj, k vecheru konchen tvoj podvig dnevnoj.
Chto-nibud' nachato, chto-nibud' sdelano, kuplen tvoj otdykh nochnoj.
Spi!

S svetlym licom zasypajesh' ty, starec, trudom utomljon;
Vidno, kak v noch' pogruzhajetsja zhizni zemnoj nebosklon:
Dnja zamogil'nogo pervym sijan'jem uzh tvoj ozarjajetsja son.
Spi! Spi!
