ART and our life.

Home | A dream | The little bell | The night | The stars have shined for us | I opened the window | Loneliness | Distant shore | Always and everywhere | The soldier's wife | The sweet dream | If I knew
The stars have shined for us

Art song performed by Ukrainian mezzo Renata Babak

The meek stars have shined for us.
A light wind breathed and  flowers around us smelled beautifully.
We were young, we were in love and we looked to the future with belief.
We had our dreams and we didn't  fear  the snowstorms of gray winter.
 
Where are those nights with their glow,
with their beauty, with hope of exalted dreams?
Stars began to darken, flowers began to wither.
 
Oh my heart! When will you forget all that happened?
Will you forget the promises of spring?
When will you, my heart, forget it?
