by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Застольная Песня
 (Sung text for setting by A. Glazunov)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Кубок янтарный
Полон давно,
Пеною парной
Блещет вино.
Света дороже
Сердцу оно;
Но за кого же
Выпью вино?

Пейте за славу
Славы друзья,
Бранной забавы
Любить нельзя
Это веселье
Не веселит,
Дружбы похмелье
Грома бежит.

Жители неба,
Феба жрецы!
Здравие Феба
Пейте, певцы!
Резвой камены
Ласки — беда;
Ток Иппокрены
Други вода.

Пейте за радость
Юной любви —
Скроется младость,
Дети мои...
Кубок янтарный
Полон давно.
Я — благодарный —
Пью за вино.
