by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Луна
 (Sung text for setting by D. Smirnov)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Посреди небесных тел
  Лик луны туманный,
Как он кругл и как он бел,
  Точно блин с сметаной.

Кажду ночь она в лучах
  Путь проходит млечный.
Видно, там, на небесах,
  Масленица вечно!
