Ni slova, o drug moj ('Not a word, o my friend')
(1869)
Op. 6 no.2
Ni slova, o drug moj ('Not a word, o my friend')
Ni slova, o drug moj, ni vzdokha...My budem s toboj molchalivy...Ved' molcha nad kamnem mogil'nymSklonjajutsja grustnye ivy...I tol'ko, sklonivshis', chitajut,Kak ja v tvojom vzore ustalom,Chto byli dni jasnogo schast'ja...Chto `etogo schast'ja -- ne stalo!
Not a word, o my friend
Not a word, oh my friend, not a sigh…Wes hall be silent together…Just as the sad willows bendOver the gravestone…And as they bend low, they read,Just as I read in your tired gaze,That you once knew days of radiant happiness…And that that happiness exists no longer!
