2 Choeurs p. Voix d'Enfants ou de Femmes avec accompagnement de Piano , opus 8

by Nikolay Aleksandrovich Sokolov (1859 - 1922)

1. Automne
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Les fleurs tardives, penchant leur corolle,
Tristes regrettent l'été, qui s'envole.
Vous maudissez, ô fleurs, les jours pleins d'ombres ;
Vous redoutez, ô fleurs, les nuits trop sombres.

Roses charmantes, vous êtes flétries,
Mais rappelez-vous les aurores fleuries
Et du printemps les étoiles brillant aux cieux,
Quand s'élevait le chant des rossignols joyeux !

Text Authorship:

  • Singable translation by Jules Ruelle (1834 - 1892)

1. Астрам  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Поздние гости отцветшего лета,
Шепчутся ваши головки понурые,
Словно клянёте вы дни без просвета,
Словно пугают вас ноченьки хмурые...

Розы - вот те отцвели, да хоть жили...
Нечего вам помянуть пред кончиною:
Звёзды весенние вам не светили,
Песней не тешились вы соловьиною...

2. Весенние воды
 (Sung text)

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ещё в полях белеет снег,
А воды уж весной шумят --
Бегут и будят сонный брег,
Бегут, и блещут, и гласят...

Они гласят во все концы:
«Весна идёт, весна идёт!
Мы молодой весны гонцы,
Она нас выслала вперёд.

Весна идёт, весна идёт,
И тихих, тёплых майских дней
Румяный, светлый хоровод
Толпится весело за ней!...»

2. Printemps
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
La neige encor blanchit nos champs,
Mais le ruisseau déjà murmure,
Et l'on entend au loin les chants :
C'est le réveil de la nature !

De nous s'approche le printemps.
Salut, printemps ! Salut, printemps !
Nous sommes ses joyeux courriers,
Et nous disons par les sentiers :
Salut, printemps !

Voici les jours de feux ardents,
Où bondit la ronde joyeuse,
Où la jeunesse insoucieuse
Chante et fête le printemps !
Salut, printemps !
