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


Vzgljani, moj drug: po nebu golubomu,
Kak ljogkij dym, nesutsja oblaka;
Tak grust' projdjot po serdcu molodomu,
Jego, kak son, kasajasja slegka.

Moj milyj drug, tvoji mladyje gody
Prekrasnyj cvet dushi tvojej spasut;
Ostav' zhe mne i grom i nepogody,
Oni tvojo blazhenstvo unesut.

Prosti, zabud', ne trebuj ob"jasnenij:
Mojej sud'by tebe ne razdelit'!
Ty sozdana dlja tikhikh naslazhdenij,
Dlja sladkikh sljoz, dlja schastija ljubit'!

Vzgljani, moj drug: po nebu golubomu,
Kak ljogkij dym, nesutsja oblaka;
Tak grust' projdjot po serdcu molodomu,
Jego, kak son, kasajasja slegka.
