Как часто слушаю
 (Sung text for setting by A. Dargomyzhsky)

Language: Russian (Русский)

Как часто слушаю ничтожный разговор
С участием притворным я и ложным!
Вниманье полное изображает взор,
Но мысли далеко и на сердце тревожно…

Как часто я смеюсь, тогда как из очей
Готовы слезы жаркие катиться!..
О, как бы я тогда бежала от людей!
Как сладко было б мне, одной, грустить, молиться!
