Proshchal'naja pesnja (Kukol'nik, set by M. Glinka) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Proshchajte, dobryje druzja!
Nas zhizn' raskinet vrassypnuju;
vsjo tak, no gde by ni byl ja,
a vspomnju vas i zatoskuju.
Nigde net vechno svetlykh dnej,
vezde toska, vezde istoma,
i zhizn' dlja pamjati mojej
listki istjortogo al'boma.

Ty prav, ty prav, pevec,
da ne sovsem, da ne sovsem.
Kogda zhizn' druzhboju sogreta,
daj Bog tebe, i nam, i vsem
mnogije leta.

Jest' neizmennaja sem'ja,
mir luchshikh dum i oshchushchenij,
kruzhok vash, dobryje druzja,
pokrytij nebom vdokhnovenyj!
I toj sem'ji ne razljublju,
na detskij son ne promenjaju!
Jej pesn' poslednjuju poju
i struny liry razryvaju.

Ura, ura, ty prav,
no strun ne rvi, no strun' ne rvi.
Zhizn' nasha druzhboju sogreta.
Udar' po strunam i gremi:
mnogije leta.
