TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS: Not a word, oh my friend, not a sigh... Let’s both of us be silent... After all, silently over the stone, over the grave stone The sad willows are bending... And are just reading bending over, Like me, in your tired heart, That there were the days of pure happiness, That this happiness is over! ORIGINAL LYRICS: Ни слова, о друг мой, ни вздоха… Мы будем с тобой молчаливы… Ведь молча над камнем, над камнем могильным Склоняются грустные ивы… И только, склонившись, читают, Как я, в твоем сердце усталом, Что были дни ясного счастья, Что этого счастья – не стало! Что этого счастья – не стало! ________________________________ This is official videochannel of the Russian operatic singer Leonid Mikhailovich Kharitonov (bass-baritone).
