by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Wilhelm Aleksandrovich Sorgenfrei (1882 - 1938)

Неподвижные звёзды
 (Sung text for setting by E. Denisov)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Неподвижны в небе звёзды,
Века и века подряд
С любовью и тоскою
Друг на друга глядят.

И речи ведут чудесным,
Богатым языком,
Тем самым, что лучшим
Филологам не знаком.

Но мне их речь понятна,
Её я быстро постиг:
Грамматикой мослужил мне
Моей возлюбленной лик.

Ах, звёзды, протяните,
Вы к милой волшебные нити
И скажите, что поэт
Верен ей и шлёт привет.
