Translated lyrics by Seonaidh Morton:- 0: [Solo tenor sings Russian verse] 1: [Given in Russian in the score] In the yard the silence is like the grave, There's no whisper till dawns the light. If you only knew how my spirit craves For the still of the Moscow night. 2: Soft the river flows, yet it does not flow, Glinting in the moon's silver light. And a song is heard, but unheard below, In the still of the Moscow night. 3: Why do you, my dear, seem to look away, With you head bowed down out of sight? It's so hard to say, and yet not to say How I long for the Moscow night. 4: [Add one degree of noise: p>mp, mp>mf, mf>f] Now the sky grows lighter, a new day dawns, So, my darling, let's do what's right. Let us ne'er forget, on this summer morn, All the still of the Moscow night. [slow down and hold last]
