by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Ты помнишь ли вечер
 (Sung text for setting by S. Rachmaninov)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ты помнишь ли вечер, как море шумело,
  В шиповнике пел соловей,
Душистые ветки акации белой
  Качались на шляпе твоей?

Меж камней, обросших густым виноградом,
  Дорога была так узка;
В молчании над морем мы ехали рядом,
  к руке прилежала рука.

 ... 

Ты помнишь ли рёв дождевого потока
  И пену и брызги кругом;
И нам наше горе казалось далёко,
  И как мы забыли о нём!
