Dva proshchanija (Kol'tsov, set by S. Rachmaninov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Bariton:
 Tak ty, moja Krasavica,
 Lishilas' vdrug
 Dvukh molodcev,
 Skazhi-zhe mne,
 Kak s pervym ty
 Razstalasja,
 Proshchalasja?

Soprano:
 Razstalas' s nim
 Ja veselo;
 Proshchalasja, -
 Smejalasja...
 A on ko mne,
 Bednja zhechka,
 Prinal na grud'
 Golovushkoj;
 I dolgo tak 
 Lezhal, molchal;
 Smochil platok
 Gorjuchimi ...
 Nu Bog s toboj!
 Promolvil mne;
 Skhvatil konja - 
 Pojekhal v put' -
 V chuzhikh krajakh
 Korotat' vek.

Bariton:
 I ty nad nim 
 Smejalasja?
 Jego slezam 
 Ne verila?
 Skazhi-zh teper',
 Mudrenaja,
 Kak ty s drugim
 Proshchalasja?

Soprano:
 Drugoj ne to...
 Ne plakal on,
 A i teper'
 Vse plachu ja.
 Akh, obnjal on 
 Tak kholodno,
 Tak sukho rech'
 Povel so mnoj.
 Ja jedu, vish',
 Ne nadolgo;
 Jeshchjo s toboj
 Uvidimsja,
 I v voljushku
 Naplachemsja.
 No serdculi
 Takoj privet?
 Makhnul rukoj,
 Ne klanjajas', 
 V moje lico
 Ne smotrjuchi,
 Pustil konja -
 I byl takov!

Bariton:
 Kto-zh pamjatnij 
 Ostanetsja
 Dushe tvojej,
 Krasavica?

Soprano:
 Mne pervago,
 Konechno, zhal';
 Ljublju-zhe ja
 Poslednjago!
