Kishani Jayasinghe
Rachmaninov Ne poi krasavitsa
Don't sing to me, beauty,
Those sad songs of Georgia;
For they remind me of
Another life and distant shores.
Alas, they remind me,
Your cruel refrains,
Of steppe and night and moonlight and
The face of a distant, poor maiden!
I look at you and can forget
That dear and fateful apparition;
But you sing, and it appears
Again in my imagination.
wow!!!

Pushkin lovesong as lyrics for Rachmaninov.
Do not sing, my beauty, to me your sad songs of Georgia; they remind me-of that other life and distant shore. Alas, They remind me, your cruel melodies, of the steppe, the night and moonlit features of a poor, distant maiden! That sweet and fateful apparition I forget when you appear; but you sing, and before me I picture that image anew.

A haunting song beautifully sung...is the video of this available? I would love to see the video of Kishani singing this with the violin in Melbourne.
