Майские ночи
 (Sung text for setting by A. Gurilyov)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
И ночь, и любовь, и луна,
И темный развесистый сад,
И льется отвсюду на нас
В прохладе ночной аромат.

И дивно поет соловей,
И томно глядит так луна,
И тихо так ропщет в пруду
Под берегом сонным волна.

Не правда ли, друг мой, в душе
Всё светлые, чудные сны,
И вырваться хочет душа,
И негой все чувства полны?

И вдруг то заблещет слеза,
То вспыхнет огонь по щекам,
И рвутся невольно уста
Навстречу горячим устам!
