Текст песни М.П. Мусоргский - Д.Д. Шостакович - Песни и пляски Смерти. Серенада

SERENADE sheet music
Words by A. Golenishchev-Kutuzov

Magical bliss, blue night
Trembling dusk of spring ...
He hears, dropping his head, sick ...
Whispers of night silence ...

Sleep doesn’t close shiny eyes
Life calls for pleasure;
And under the window in the silence of midnight
Death serenades sings:

"In the darkness of bondage, severe and cramped,
Your youth will fade;
Unknown knight, by miraculous power
I will free you.

Stand up, look at yourself: beauty
Your face glistens transparent
Cheeks blush, wavy scythe
Your camp is twisted like a cloud.

The gaze of blue eyes,
Brighter than heaven and fire.
The midday breath blows ...
You seduced me.

Thy rumor was captivated by my serenade
Your whisper called for a knight.
The knight came for the last reward.
The hour of rapture has come.

Your camp is gentle, trembling is persistent.
Oh, I will smother you in a tight embrace;
My love talk
Listen ... be silent ... you are mine! "
