Горные вершины
Спят во тьме ночной.
Тихие долины
Полны свежей мглой.
Не пылит дорога,
Не дрожат листы.
Подожди немного,
Отдохнёшь и ты.

1. Mountain heights
Language: English 
The mountain heights
Sleep in the darkness of night
The quiet valleys
Are filled with dewy haze.
The road has no dust,
The leaves do not shake ...
Wait awhile
And you will have a rest.

2. Сосна  [sung text not yet checked]
by Alexander Aleksandrovich Kopylov (1854 - 1911), "Сосна", op. 24 (2 Хора для женских или детских голосов с сопровождением фортепиано (2 Khora dlja zhenskikh ili detskikh golosov s soprovozhdeniem fortepiano)) no. 2 [ women's chorus or children's chorus and piano ], Leipzig, Belaieff
Language: Russian (Русский) 
На севере диком стоит одиноко
На голой вершине сосна,
И дремлет, качаясь, и снегом сыпучим
[Одета, как ризой, она]1.

И снится ей всё, что в пустыне далёкой,
В том крае, где солнца восход,
Одна и грустна на утёсе горючем
Прекрасная пальма растёт.

1 Levina: "Как ризой, одета она" (Kak rizoj, odeta ona)

by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
2.
Language: English 
In the wild north a pine tree stands alone
On the bare top of a mountain.
It slumbers and sways, covered with
Powdery snow like a mantle.

And it dreams constantly: that in faraway wilds
In the land where the sun rises,
A cheerless and lovely palm stands alone,
Growing on a gloomy cliff.
