Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Queen of Spades; Ya vas lyublyu (Japan 2005) HD
Ya vas lyublyu
I love you beyond measure (Yeletsky’s aria)
Tchaikovsky: Queen of Spades
Я вас люблю, люблю безмерно,
Без вас не мыслю дня прожить.
И подвиг силы беспримерной
Готов сейчас для вас свершить,
Но знайте: сердца вашего свободу
Ничем я не хочу стеснять,
Готов скрываться вам в угоду
И пыл ревнивых чувств унять,
На все, на все для вас готов!
Не только любящим супругом,
Слугой полезным иногда,
Желал бы я быть вашим другом
И утешителем всегда.
Но ясно вижу, чувствую теперь я,
Куда себя в мечтах завлек,
Как мало в вас ко мне доверья,
Как чужд я вам и как далек!
Ах, я терзаюсь этой далью,
Состражду вам я всей душой,
Печалюсь вашей я печалью
И плачу вашею слезой...
Ах, я терзаюсь этой далью,
Состражду вам я всей душой!
Я вас люблю, люблю безмерно,
Без вас не мыслю дня прожить,
Я подвиг силы беспримерной
Готов сейчас для вас свершить!
О, милая, доверьтесь мне!
I love you dear, beyond all measure.
I think of you by day and night,
For you my life Id lay down gladly, for you against the world Id fight,
Yet hear me, child, your heart shall keep its freedom
Your life to mine I will never chain
I could renounce you, for your own sake,
And trample down my jealous pain.
For you, for you, all things were easy.
Not only as my wife Id love you,
Of your least wish Id be the slave,
I long to be your friend and guardian, tender to cherish and to save!
I think my eyes for love of you were blinded,
But now at last, the truth is clear,
To you I seem a kindly stranger,
You would not have me draw too near!
O, let me break these cruel barriers, I feel for you with all my heart,
But yet no comfort can I give you,
while thus you grieve and weep apart.
O, let me break these cruel barriers, I feel for you with all my heart.
I love you, dear, beyond all measure.
I think of you by day and night.
For you my life Id lay down gladly,
For you against the world Id fight!
O dearest heart, confide in me!
Alternative translation, sent by Iamsalgado:
You are sad, dear,
As if you have grief
Wait just a moment!
I must, must say to you!
I love, love you without bonds.
And cant imagine living a day without you,
A feat of unparalleled prowess.
Im prepared to perform right now on your behalf,
But know this: I dont wish to restrict
The freedom of your heart.
In order to please, I am prepared to vanish from you
And to douse the flame of jealous feelings.
Im prepared to do anything, anything for you!
Id like to be not just a loving spouse—
A servant, useful sometimes,
But your friend as well
And always a consoler!
But I clearly see, now I feel,
How much my dreams misled me,
How little you have faith in me,
How remote I am to you!
Oh. I am distressed by the distance; I feel for you
with my entire heart,
I feel your grief,
And cry with your tears.
Oh, Im distressed by the distance,
I feel for you with my entire heart,
I love you without bounds,
And cannot imagine living a day without you,
Im prepared to perform for you
A feat of unparalleled prowess.
Oh my darling, trust me!
