Lyrics П. И. Чайковский - Евгений Онегин - Ария Ленского

(The old abandoned mill is the place designated for the duel.) Early winter morning Lenski and his second Zaretsky await Onegin).

ZARETSKY
Well, what is it?
It seems your opponent
did not show up.

LENA
Will appear now.

ZARETSKY
But still it's strange
me a little bit
What's wrong with him: the seventh is the hour!
I thought he
waiting for us!

(Zaretsky goes to the mill.) Lensky sits in a reverie).

LENA
Where where,
where did you go,
the spring of my golden days?
What a future day
Do you prepare me?
My eye catches in vain:
In the deep darkness
it is hidden!
No need; rights of fate law!
Whether I fall, with an arrow pierced,
or she will pass by,
All good; vigil and sleep
the hour comes definite!
Blessed is the day of cares,
Blessed and darkness is the coming!
The morning ray of the dawn will shine
and will play a bright day,
and I, perhaps, am the tombs
I will descend into a mysterious shadow!
And the memory of a young poet
will absorb the slow Summer.
The world will forget me; notes!
You, Olga ...

Tell me,
Will you come, maid of beauty,
shed a tear over the early urn
and to think: he loved me!
He dedicated me one
dawn of a sad stormy life!
Oh, Olga, I loved you!
I dedicated you to one
dawn of a sad stormy life!
Oh, Olga, I loved you!
A heartfelt friend,
the coveted friend.
Come, come!
Desired friend,
Come, I'm your husband!
Come, I'm your husband!
come, come!
I'm waiting for you, the coveted friend.
Come, come; I'm your husband!
Where where,
where did you go,
my spring,
the spring of my golden days?
