Those evening bells! Those evening bells!How many a tale their music tells,

Of youth, and home, and those sweet time,When last I heard their soothing chime.

poet Kozlov’s adaptation and composer Alyabiev’s musicwritten in 1829



Evening bell, evening bell!How many a thought it inspires.Of youth days in my native land,

Where I loved, where my father’s house is.And also of the moment when leaving it forever,

I was hearing the bell there for the last time!
