Ja umer ot sčast'ja
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Ja umer ot sčast'ja ljubvi razdelennoj, I grobom mne byli ob"jatija miloj, I byl voskrešen ja eë poceluem, I nebo uzrël ja v očach eë divnych. I, k žizni prizvannyj, v vostorge bezmolvnom Ljubujus' ja divnoj ee krasotoju. I deva s ulybkoj kol'co mne vručaet I šepčet tak sladko: tvoja ja naveki! I radostno božij ves' chram osvetilsja, I ticho podvel k altarju ja nevestu. I v teploj molitve slilis' naši duši, I s neju smešali my slezy blaženstva!
N. Rimsky-Korsakov sets stanza 1
