Story behind the song
Anna Ahkmatova, "The boy playing bagpipes....", for Piano and Female voice (high), in Russian.
Lyrics
Poem by Anna Ahkmatova The boy playing bagpipes, The girl weaving her garland, The two in the forest crossing paths, In the far fields a distant spark, -- I see all. I remember everything, Lovingly-briefly in the shores of the heart. Only of one I never know And to even recall more I am not able. I do not ask for wisdom or strength. O, only let me warm myself by the fire! I am coldWinged or wingless, A joyful god does not visit me. (1911) (Composer's translation)
