Lyrics
Poem by Anna Ahkmatova Heart is not chained to heart, If you wish - leave. There is much happiness For those, who freely go their way. I do not cry, I do not complain, Happiness is not to be. . . Do not kiss me, I am tired, - Death befits to kiss. Days of keen livelihood lanquish Together with the white winter. Why, why are you Better than my elected? 1911 (Composer's translation)
