[Part 1: The Road] Kón moy, v pólje stó-it, Pút' dalyokóy lezhít. Snég, kak véchnost, bel, V étoy tishiné — kholodný strákh. [Music: The rhythm becomes slightly agitated, the harmony darkens. The woodwinds introduce a twisting, disquieting motif.] [Part 2: The Memory] Vídish' tam, v tení? Lítso yeyó — moyó proshlóye. [Part 3: The Lament] O, zabúd'! O, ostáv' menyá! Moyó sérdtse — léd, moyá dushá — porázhóna. Pust' metél' pokróyet vsyo, I mímo proshlóye, v véchny snég. [ending] ------------------- [Part 1: The Road] My horse stands alone in the field, A long road lies ahead. Snow, white as eternity, In this silence — a cold dread. [Part 2: The Memory] Do you see there, in the shadow? Her face — my past. She came with defiance, Once more, she brought a final message. Instrumental orchestral interlude [Part 3: The Lament] Oh, forget! Oh, leave me be! My heart — ice, my soul — struck down. Let the blizzard cover all, And let the past drift by, into eternal snow.
