Воспоминание
 (Sung text for setting by A. Aliabev)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Прошли, прошли вы, дни очарованья! 
Подобных вам уж сердцу не нажить! 
Ваш след в одной тоске воспоминанья! 
Ах! лучше б вас совсем мне позабыть! 

К вам часто мчит привычное желанье -
И слёз любви нет сил остановить! 
Несчастие - об вас воспоминанье! 
Но более несчастье - вас забыть! 

О, будь же грусть заменой упованья! 
Отрада нам - о счастье слёзы лить! 
Мне умереть с тоски воспоминанья! 
Но можно ль жить, - увы! и позабыть!
