Песня Софьи
 (Sung text for setting by Y. Genishta)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
О чём, скажи, твоё стенанье
И безутешная печаль?
Твой умер друг или изгнанье
Его умчало в синю даль?

Когда б он был в стране далекой,
Я друга бы назад ждала,
И в скорбях жизни одинокой
Надежда бы ещё цвела.

Когда б он был в могиле хладной,
Мои бы плакали глаза,
А слёзы в грусти безотрадной –
Небес вечерняя роса.

Но он – преступник, он – убийца;
О нём и плакать мне нельзя!
Ах, растворись моя гробница,
Откройся, тихая земля!
