На холмах Грузии

(Sung text for setting by B. Lyatoshynsky)

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG FRE

На холмах Грузии лежит ночная мгла,
Шумит Арагва предо мною.
Мне грустно и легко: печаль моя светла,
Печаль моя полна тобою
Тобой, тобой одной. Унынья моего
Ничто не мучит, не тревожит,
И сердце вновь горит и бьётся оттого,
Что не любить оно не может.

On Georgian hills

(Sung text translation for setting by B. Lyatoshynsky)

See original

Language: English after the Russian (Русский)

On Georgian hills lies night's darkness;
The Aragvi roars before me.
I feel sorrowful and at ease;
My sadness is light;
My sadness is full of you,
You, only you...
My gloom is not disturbed or tortured by anything,
And my heart again burns and beats faster because
It cannot renounce love.
