Песня Дездемоны об иве

Set by Georgiy Vasil'yevich Sviridov (1915 - 1998), "Песня Дездемоны об иве" [Sung Text]

Note: this setting is made up of several separate texts.


У матери моей была служанка
Барвара. Друг ее, гулявший с нею,
Был ветрогоном и Барвару бросил.
Была у ней излюбленная песнь,
Старинная, под стать ее страданью,
Про иву, с ней она и умерла…
Вот эта песня у меня сегодня
Из головы весь вечер не выходит...

Под ивою девушка в горе своем
Сидела, склонившись тоскливо.
Давайте про ивушку песню споем,
Ах, ива, зеленая ива!

От жалости к девушке плакал ручей,
И двигались камни обрыва,
Но слезы ручьями катились у ней.
Ах, ива, зеленая ива!

Кажется, кто-то стучит?
Нет, это ветер!

Она говорила: «Мне это урок,
Упреки его справедливы;
Из ивы сплетите мне, бедной, венок.
Ах, ива, зеленая ива!

Мой милый советует: я не один,
Найди себе новое диво.
Я вижусь с другими, есть много мужчин…
Ах, ива, зеленая ива!

Что-то чешутся глаза!.. К слезам, наверно…
Свидетель - небесный свет,
Что неизвестно мне,
За что любовь его я потеряла!
