Lyrics

In order to go rowing in our boat, we have waited for the setting of the sun A slight breeze ripples the blue surface and stirs the waterlilies Along the banks, where the cherry blossoms fall like rain, we catch a glimpse of strolling lovers My courteous friends prepare cooling drinks The beautiful young girls breathe the perfume of the white glycine I watch a cloud sailing over us, soon the rain And I shall compose some vеrses On the inconstancy of happiness Likе the moon in the blue heavens, I am alone in my room I have put out the light and I am weeping I weep because you are so far away And because you will never know how much I love you The musicians have gone The lilacs, which they placed in the vases of jade, bend toward the loots and seem to listen still
