Zdes khorosho (How fair this spot!)      Sergei Rachmaninov

Lyrics by Glafira Galina

It is good to be here...

Look, in the distance    

the river gleams like fire;

the meadows are like a flowered carpet,

White clouds above us...

Here there are no people...

Here there is silence...

Here I am alone with God.

Flowers, an ancient pine,

and you, my dream!
