Чётки, на стихи А. Ахматовой

Song Cycle by Arthur Vincent Lourié (1891 - 1966)

1. Шуточная  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я с тобой не стану пить вино,
Оттого, что ты мальчишка озорной.
Знаю я - у вас заведено
С кем попало целоваться под луной.

А у нас - тишь да гладь,
Божья благодать.

А у нас - светлых глаз
Нет приказу подымать.

2. Поминальная  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Как соломинкой, пьёшь мою душу.
Знаю, вкус её горек и хмелен.
Но я пытку мольбой не нарушу.
О, покой мой многонеделен.

Когда кончишь, скажи. Не печально,
Что души моей нет на свете.
Я пойду дорогой недальней
Посмотреть, как играют дети.

На кустах зацветает крыжовник,
И везут кирпичи за оградой.
Кто ты: брат мой или любовник,
Я не помню, и помнить не надо.

Как светло здесь и как бесприютно,
Отдыхает усталое тело…
А прохожие думают смутно:
Верно, только вчера овдовела.

3. Окарина
 (Sung text)

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Потускнел на небе синий лак,
И слышнее песня окарины.
Это только дудочка из глины,
Не на что ей жаловаться так.
Кто ей рассказал мои грехи,
И зачем она меня прощает?
Или этот голос повторяет
Мне твои последние стихи?...

4. Протяжная  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я на солнечном восходе
Про любовь пою,
На коленях в огороде
Лебеду полю.

Вырываю и бросаю —
Пусть простит меня.
Вижу, девочка босая
Плачет у плетня.

Страшно мне от звонких воплей
Голоса беды,
Всё сильнее запах тёплый
Мёртвой лебеды.

Будет камень вместо хлеба
Мне наградой злой.
Надо мною только небо,
А со мною голос твой.

5. Частушка  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Лучше б мне частушки задорно выкликать,
А тебе на хриплой гармонике играть,

И уйдя обнявшись, на ночь за овсы,
Потерять бы ленту из тугой косы.

Лучше б мне ребеночка твоего качать,
А тебе полтинник в сутки выручать,

И ходить на кладбище в поминальный день
Да смотреть на белую Божию сирень.
