Текст песни Д. Шостакович. Из еврейской народной поэзии - 1. Плач об умершем младенце

Zara Dolukhanova ( mezzo - soprano) , Nina Dorliac (soprano )

Mourning infants ( cl . Folk , translated from the Hebrew T. Spendiarova )

Sun and rain , light and darkness ,
Fog descended , the moon faded .
Who gave birth ?
Boy , boy.
How to call ?
Moyshele , Moyshele .
But what shook Moyshele ?
In the cradle .
And what is fed ?
Bread and onions .
Where are they buried ?
In grave.
Oh , the boy in the grave
In Moyshele tomb , in the grave .
