Zabyt' tak skoro, 'To forget so soon'
Russian source:
Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin
Zabït tak skoro, bozhe moy,
Vsyo schastye zhizni prozhitoy!
Vse nashi vstrechi, razgovorï,
Zabït tak skoro, zabït tak skoro!
Zabït volnenya pervïkh dney,
Svidanya chas v teni vetvey!
Ochey nemïye razgovorï,
Zabït tak skoro, zabït tak skoro!
Zabït, kak polnaya luna
Na nas glyadela iz okna,
Kak kolïkhalas tikho shtora …
Zabït tak skoro, zabït tak skoro!
Zabït lyubov, zabït mechtï,
Zabït te klyatvï, pomnish tï,
V nochnuyu pasmurnuyu poru,
Zabït tak skoro, tak skoro!
Bozhe moy!
Vsyo schastye zhizni prozhitoy!
Vse nashi vstrechi, razgovorï,
Zabït tak skoro, zabït tak skoro!
Zabït volnenya pervïkh dney,
Svidanya chas v teni vetvey!
Ochey nemïye razgovorï,
Zabït tak skoro, zabït tak skoro!
Zabït, kak polnaya luna
Na nas glyadela iz okna,
Kak kolïkhalas tikho shtora …
Zabït tak skoro, zabït tak skoro!
Zabït lyubov, zabït mechtï,
Zabït te klyatvï, pomnish tï,
V nochnuyu pasmurnuyu poru,
Zabït tak skoro, tak skoro!
Bozhe moy!
