Текст песни Mikhail Lukonin, Yuri Serov - Shostakovich - Spanish Songs, Op.100 - 2. Звездочки

Under the old cypress trees
the coastal surface is silvery.
I'm going to my darling with a guitar,
to teach her songs.

But I have no desire to teach for free:
I kiss her for the note.
It's strange that by morning she will know
everything except notes!

Too bad it's too late to start again!
It is a pity that the air is already bright!
It's a pity that they don't shiver fearfully during the day
Over the bay of the stars ...

The sky is endless in the stars
the sultry midnight is full of them.
I call my dear
all the countless stars are names.

I value my knowledge
And I kiss her for the name.
It's strange that the lesson seems to her simple -
everything except the stars!
