Gde ty, zvjozdochka?
Language: Russian (Русский)
Gde ty, zvjozdochka, akh, gde ty, jasnaja? Il' zatmilasja tuchej [mrachnoju]1? Gde ty, devica, gde ty, krasnaja? Il' pokinula druga milogo?2 I ja s goresti, so ljutoj toski, Pojdu vo pole, pole chistoje, Ne uvizhu li jasnoj zvezdochki, Ja ne vstrechu li krasnoj devicy? Tucha chjornaja skryla zvjozdochku, Zemlja khladnaja vzjala devicu.
M. Musorgsky sets stanzas 1, 3
1 Musorgsky: "чёрною, тучей чёрною, тучей мрачною" ("chjornoju, tuchej chjornoju, tuchej mrachnoju")
2 Musorgsky adds "Друга милого, ненаглядного" ("Druga milogo, nenagljadnogo?")
