Tchaikovsky / Apukhtin : Whether Daylight Reigns

7 Romances, Op. 47, No. 6

Russian text by Aleksei Apukhtin; English translation by Edward Lein

День ли царит, тишина ли ночная,

В снах ли бессвязных, в житейской борьбе,

Всюду со мной, мою жизнь наполняя,

Whether daylight reigns or the silence of the night, Were I in a muddled dream, or bound in worldly strife, No matter where I wander, my life still shall be filled
