by Modest Petrovich Musorgsky (1839 - 1881)

Песнь балеарца
Language: Russian (Русский) 
В объятях девы молодой, любзаньем жгучим распаленный,
Дыханья жаркого струей в роскошной неге упоенный,
Под шопот сладостных речей я забываю звук мечей.
В объятях девы нежной я засыпаю безмятежно.
Забуду-ль образ девы милой, забуду-ль блеск её очей,
И шопот сладостных речей средь звуков пиршества игривых?
В объятях девы нежной я засыпаю безмятежно
И в сладком сне, любовью упоенный, пою любовь,
И девы чудную красу и деву чудную мою!
Под шопот сладостных речей, я забываю звук мечей!
