What power art thou, who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting snow
See'st thou not how stiff, how stiff and wondrous old
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold
I can scarcely move or draw my breath
I can scarcely move or draw my breath
Let me, let me, let me freeze again
Let me, let me freeze again to death
Let me, let me, let me freeze again to death
Mikael Tariverdiev (Russian: Микаэл Таривердиев, Armenian: Միքայել Թարիվերդիև; 15 August 1931 – 24 July 1996) was a prominent Soviet composer of Armenian descent who is best known for his music to many popular Soviet films (more than 130, including "Seventeen Moments of Spring" and "The Irony of Fate").
He was born in Tbilisi, Georgian SSR to Armenian parents, but lived and worked in Russia. He studied at the Komitas State Conservatory of Yerevan for two years and then graduated from the Moscow Gnessin Institute in the class of Aram Khachaturian in 1957.
Mikael Tariverdiev was a recipient of many awards, including one from the American Music Academy in 1975, one from Japan's Victor Company in 1978, and three Nika film awards in the '90s. He was awarded a title People's Artist of Russia in 1986.
