Poutru, na zare, Po rasistoj trave, Ya pajdu svezhym utrom dyshat’; I v dushystuyu ten’, Gde tesnitsya siren’, Ya pojdu svoyo shchast’ye iskat’... V zhizni shchast’ye odno Mne najti suzhdeno, I to shchast’ye v sireni zhyvyot; Na zelyonykh vetvyakh, Na dushistykh kistyakh Moyo bednoe shchast’ye tsvetyot... In the morning, at dawn, Through the dew-clad grass, I shall walk, breathing in the freshness of morning; And to the fragrant shade, Where lilacs cluster, I shall go in search of happiness… In life there is but one happiness That I am fated to find, And that happiness dwells in the lilacs; On their green branches, In their fragrant clusters My poor happiness blooms…
I almost pass out with joy when Oksana Lepska sings the Angel Serenade! Pure joy. Just overwhelmes me with delight. Such perfect timing by Oksana as she finds exactly where to sing in this gorgeous musical. Both musicians are absolute perfection. Oksana Lepska is many levels above and beyond perfection! Who would not agree?
This is divine! It seems I have died and gone to heaven. The violin is superb. The piano is marvelous. Oksana is breathtaking. What a trio of perfection. I wish I had been there in person that evening!!
