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


V vozdushnykh vysotakh mezh nochiju i dnjom
Tebja postavil bog, kak vechnuju granicu.
Tebja oblek on purpurnym ognjom,
Tebe on dal v sooputnicy dennicu.
Kogda ty v nebe golubom
Sijajesh', tikho dogoraja,
Ja myslju, na tebja vziraja:
Zarja, tebe podobny my.
Smeshen'je plameni i khlada,
Smeshenije nebes i ada,
Sijanije luchej i t'my.
