Текст песни Дина Баймухаметова - Семирамида

Poems by Nikolai Gumilyov
Music by Dina Baimukhametova

For the first rulers my lot is envied,
And the gods are not so proud.
Pillars of marble in a blazing sky
My gardens have been strengthened.

There are groves with tanks for pink moisture,
Blue gentle mosses
Slaves, and dancers, and wise magicians,
Kings of the four elements.

Everything beckons and pleases, everything is clear and close,
Everything is fraught with the delight of silence,
But every midnight is so scary and low
Leaning over the face of the moon.

And in the gloomy horror of the moon’s gaze,
From tenacious lunar nets
I want to rush out of this garden
From the height of seven hundred cubits.
