RUSSIAN SONOS
Sung by TATIANA MAKUSHINA
The Dreary Steppe. As I walk in the lonely steppe in the darkness I think of thee, and it seems that all grows brighter and lovelier around me.
Over the Mountain. When I hear the cock crow on the hill, when I see the water ripple on the lake-sad is my heart.
In the Early Morning. When the first birds sing in the morning a maiden weeps, imprisoned on a rock in the middle of the sea. Neither her father nor mother have pity for her, but there comes a handsome youth who sees her plight and saves her.
All Things Depart. I cannot sing merry songs, when I think of how all things pass and vanish for ever.
Lilac. I will go and seek my luck in the lilac, for I am sure I shall find it there.
0, never sing to me again. Thy songs awaken memories that are too sweet and too sad.
