Dva stikhotvorenija Verlena

Song Cycle by Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971)

1. La lune blanche
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
La lune blanche 
Luit dans les bois ;
De chaque branche 
Part une voix 
Sous la ramée...

Ô bien aimée.

L'étang reflète,
Profond miroir,
La silhouette
Du saule noir
Où le vent pleure...

Rêvons, c'est l'heure.

Un vaste et tendre
Apaisement
Semble descendre
Du firmament
Que l'astre irise...

C'est l'heure exquise.

1. Где в лунном свете
 (Sung text)

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Где в лунном свете
Стоят леса;
Ветвей прозрачных
Там голоса
Звучат сверкаыа;

О, дорогая.

Печальной ивы,
Обятой сном,
Недвижим образ
В пруду немом
Где ветра стон

О, дивны сон.

И с неба мчится
В тиши ночной,
В лучах струится
И мир покой,
В лучах мертсаний;

О, час мечтаний.

2. La bonne chanson
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Un grand sommeil noir
Tombe sur ma vie :
Dormez, tout espoir,
Dormez, toute envie !

Je ne vois plus rien,
Je perds la mémoire
Du mal et du bien...
Ô la triste histoire !

Je suis un berceau
Qu'une main balance
Au creux d'un caveau :
Silence, silence !

2. Душу сковали
 (Sung text)

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Душу сковали
Мрачние сны:
Усните, мечты,
Усните, желаня.

Слабнет память,
Ничего не вижу,
Где зло, где добро;
О печалны конец!

Там в подземели
Я, усыплённый
Неведомо кем,
Качаюсь так тихо.
