Ivari Ilja - Piano
Moscow 2008

Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff, Op.14 No. 4
Aleksey Vasilievich Koltsov

Я был у ней; она сказала:
,,Люблю тебя, мой милый друг!``
Но эту тайну от подруг
хранить мне строго завещала.

Я был у ней, на прелесть злата
Клялась меня не променять;
Ко мне лишь страстию пылать,
Меня любить, любить, как брата.

Я был у ней; я вечно буду
С её душой душою жить.
Пускай она мне изменить,
Но я изменником не буду.

Ja byl u nej; ona skazala:
,,Ljublju tebja, moj milyj drug!``
No `etu tajnu ot podrug
khranit' mne strogo zaveshchala.

Ja byl u nej, na prelest' zlata
Kljalas' menja ne promenjat';
Ko mne lish' strastiju pylat',
Menja ljubit', ljubit', kak brata.

Ja byl u nej; ja vechno budu
S jejo dushoj dushoju zhit'.
Puskaj ona mne izmenit',
No ja izmennikom ne budu.

I was with her; she said to me:
"I love you, my dearest friend!"
But she strictly implored me to keep
this secret from her girlfriend.

I was with her, not for golden riches
she swore to trade me;
only to me to be afire with passion,
to love me, love me like a brother.

I was with her; I will always
live with her soul, her soul.
Let her betray me,
but I will be no traitor.
