by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Желание
 (Sung text for setting by C. Cui)

Language: Russian (Русский)

Медлительно влекутся дни мои,
И каждый миг в увядшем сердце множит
Всё горести несчастливой любви            
И тяжкое безумие тревожит.

Но я молчу; не слышен ропот мой;
Я слёзы лью; мне слёзы утешенье;
Моя душа, объятая тоской,
В них горькое находит наслажденье.

О жизни сон, лети, не жаль тебя,
Исчезни в тьме, пустое привиденье;
Мне дорого любви моей мученье;
Пускай умру, но пусть умру, любя!
