На холмах Грузии лежит ночная мгла,
Шумит Арагва предо мною.
Мне грустно и легко: печаль моя светла,
Печаль моя полна тобою
Тобой, тобой одной. Унынья моего
Ничто не мучит, не тревожит,
И сердце вновь горит и бьется оттого,
Что не любить оно не может.
On Georgian hills lies night's darkness;
Aragvi roars before me.
I feel sorrowful and at ease;
My sadness is light;
My sadness is full of you,
You, only you...
My gloom is not disturbed or tortured by anything,
And my heart again burns and beats faster because
It cannot renounce love.

Я ли в поле да не травушка была,
Я ли в поле не зеленая росла;
Взяли меня, травушку, скосили,
На солнышке в поле иссушили.
Ох, ты, горе мое, горюшко!
Знать такая моя долюшка!
Я ли в поле не калинушка была,
Я ли в поле да не красная росла;
Взяли калинушку, сломали,
Да в жгутики меня посвязали!
Ох, ты, горе мое, горюшко!
Знать такая моя долюшка!
Я ль у батюшки не доченька была,
У родимой не цветочек я росла;
Неволей меня, бедную, взяли,
Да с немилым, седым повенчали!
Ох, ты, горе мое, горюшко!
Знать такая моя долюшка!
Was I not a blade grass in the field?
Was I not growing (as a) green (grass) in the field?
They took me, blade of grass, and cut me down.
Dried me away in the sun (in the field).
Oh, (you) my grief!
Probably, this is my (miserable) fate!
Was I not a guilder-rose in the field?
Was I not growing (as a) red (guilder-rose) in the field?
They’ve took and broken branches of guilder-rose
Tied me (guilder-rose) into bundles.
Oh, my grief!
Probably, this is my fate!
Was I not my father’s daughter?
Was I not growing up with my own (mother’s) (like a) little flower?
They took me, poor, against my will
[and] wedded me with a grey-haired, unloved man.
Oh, my grief!
Probably, this is my fate! Russian diction tutorial of Tchaikovsky - Was I not a blade grass in the field?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yZ1CckA6_Ko/mqdefault.jpg)
