by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Утро на Кавказе
 (Sung text for setting by D. Shostakovich)

Language: Russian (Русский)

Светает - вьётся дикой пеленой
Вокруг лесистых гор туман ночной;
У ног Кавказа тишина;
Молчит табун, река журчит одна.
Вот на скале новорожденный луч
Зарделся вдруг, прорезавшись меж туч,
И розовый по речке и шатрам
Разлился блеск и светит там и там:
Так девушки, купаяся в тени,
Когда увидят юношу они,
Краснеют все, к земле склоняют взор:
Но как бежать, коль близок милый вор!...
