by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Уж ты, нива моя!
 (Sung text for setting by S. Rachmaninov)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Уж ты, нива моя, нивушка, 
Не скосить тебя с маху единого,
Не связать тебя всю во единый сноп!
Уж вы, думы мои, думушки, 
Не стряхнуть вас разом с плеч долой,
Одной речью-то вас не высказать!
По тебе-ль, нива, ветер разгуливал, 
Гнул колосья твои до-земли,
Зрелы зерна-все разметывал!
Широко вы, думы, порассыпались, 
Куда пала какая думушка.
Там всходила люта печаль-трава, 
Выростало горе горючее.
