Bolero (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)


O deva chudnaja moja,
Tvojej ljubov'ju schastliv ja!
Pripav chelom k mojej grudi
V nemom vostorge tajesh' ty.

Tak mnogo plameni v ochakh!
Tak mnogo negi na ustakh!
Trepeshchet grud', ty vsja drozhish'.
Bez slov ty kljatvy mne darish'.

Lobzan'je dlitsja bez rechej.
Ja p'ju vostorg ljubvi tvojej
V nevozmutimoj tishine.
No jesli ty izmenish' mne...

O deva bednaja moja!
I dik i mrachen budu ja,
I burju smerti podymu
Tebe i drugu tvojemu!

Dymitsja krov', nesjotsja krik,
A ja k ustam tvojim prinik,
Ja rvu poslednij zvuk rechej,
Poslednij vzor tvojikh ochej.

Ljubvi krylatyje mechty,
Nadezhdy, schast'je - vsjo prosti;
Ja videl vas v kovarnom sne,
No net - ty ne izmenish' mne.
