Vy, den'ki moj (Klyuyev, set by S. Panchenko) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Vy, den'ki moj - golubi belyje,
A chasy - zapozdalyje zjabliki,
Vy pochto otletat' sobirajetes',
Ostavljajete sad moj pustyneju? 

Al' osypalos' krasnoje vishen'je,
Vinograd'je mojo priuvjanulo,
Ali duby matjoryje, vechnyje,
Burelomom, kak zverem, obglodany,

Al' issjakla krinica serdechnaja,
Ali very ograda razrushilas',
Ali sam ja - sadovnik ispytannyj,
Ne vozmog prikormit' vas molitvoju? 

Provorkujte, vsevyshnije golubi,
I prozhubrujte, dol'nije zjabliki,
Chto bez vas s mojim vishen'jem stanetsja:
Voron'ju ono v pishu dostanetsja. 

Po otlete zh poslednego golubja
Postuchitsja v kalitku dyrjavuju
Drovosek s toporami da pilami,
V zipunishche, v laptishchakh s oborami. 

Chas za chasom, kak pozdnije zjabliki,
Otletajet v prostranstvo glubinnoje... 
Chu! Kak njani sverchkovaja pesenka,
Prozvenelo krylo golubinoje.
