Psalmopevec David
Language: Russian (Русский)
O, car', skorbit duša tvoja, Tomitsja i toskuet! JA budu pet': pust' pesn' moja Tvoju pečal' vračuet. Pust' zvukov arfy zolotoj Svjatoe pesnopen'e Utešit duch unylyj tvoj I oblegčit mučen'e. Ich čelovek sozdat' ne mog, Ne ot sebja poju ja: Te pesni mne vnušaet Bog, Ne pet' ich ne mogu ja! O, car', ni zvučnyj ljazg mečej, Ni junych dev lobzan'ja, Ne zaglušat toski tvoej I žgučego stradan'ja! No liš' duši tvoej bol'noj Svjataja pesn' kosnetsja, — Mgnovenno skorb' ot pesni toj Slezami izol'ëtsja. I vsprjanet duch unylyj tvoj, O, car', i toržestvuja, U nog tvoich, vlastitel' moj, Pust' za tebja umru ja!
