by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Не пой, красавица, при мне
Language: Russian (Русский)
Не пой, красавица, при мне Ты песен Грузии печальной; Напоминают мне оне Другую жизнь и берег дальний. Увы, напоминают мне Твои жестокие напевы И степь, и ночь, и при луне Черты далекой, бедной девы! Я [призрак]1 милый, роковой, Тебя увидев, забываю; Но ты поёшь, и предо мной Его я вновь воображаю. Не пой, красавица, при мне Ты песен Грузии печальной; Напоминают мне оне Другую жизнь и берег дальний.
M. Glinka sets stanzas 1-2
