by Aleksandr Porfir'yevich Borodin (1833 - 1887)

Арабская Мелодия
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Не беги от меня, 
о, явись хоть в грезах сна.
Дай узнать жизни сладость, 
сладость страсти к тебе.

О, сжалься ты, сжалься надо мной,
ты видишь, я гибну от тебя,
гибну я в море страсти, 
жгучей страсти к тебе.

Я умру от тебя, 
мне спасенья нет нигде!
Но и смерть, смерть сладка мне, 
смерть от страсти к тебе.
