Pavel Lisitsian: Octovae (Rimsky-Korsakov)

[saiserieht]

I tried in vain to find a translation of this poem, do you happen to have one?

[vstasov]

I just posted the lyrics. Check under "more info).

[saiserieht]

;-) Unfortunately, the google translator is pretty useless when in comes to above kindergarden level lyrics. I had even tried that, with the same result that you posted, but it is really incoherent nonsense. Thanks for trying though, I will find a translation eventually.

@saiserieht here's the sort of correct translation in case you still wonder The harmony of poem whose secrets are divine don't try to realize by wise-men books Down at the drowsy water's shore passing by alone incline your soul to whisper of the reed, murmur of the oaks, whose sounds are incredible Feel it deeply and fully understand... In consonance of lines continuous octaves will flow from lips of yours unintentionally like music of the oaks

@dr660s Well thanks alot! I was indeed still wondering, had found nothing on the web. Where did you get the translation?

[dr660s]

@saiserieht you welcome. I've done it by myself of cos) By the way, this romance is dedicated to sister of composer Glinka - Ludmila Schestakova.
