Где ты, звёздочка?
 (Sung text for setting by M. Musorgsky)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG FRE GER GER
Где ты, звёздочка, ах, где ты, ясная?
Иль затмилася тучей чёрною, тучей чёрною, тучей мрачною?
Где ты, девица, где ты, красная?
Иль покинула друга милого?
Друга милого, ненаглядного

 ... 

Туча чёрная скрыла звёздочку,
Земля хладная взяла девицу.
