Сергей Лемешев. Разуверение (“Не искушай меня без нужды“). Cтаринный русский романс (М. Глинка - Е.Баратынский). 1954. Sergei Lemeshev. Razuverenie (“Do Not Tempt Me“). Old Russian Romance (M. GLinka - Y. Baratinsky). Recorded in 1954. O do not tempt me without reason: Affection lost cannot return. How foreign to the broken-hearted Are all the charms of bygone days! I can no longer trust thy promise; I have no longer faith in love; And cannot suffer once again To be deceived by phantom visions. Do not augment my anguish mute; Say not a word of former gladness. And, kindly friend, o do not trouble A convalescent's dreaming rest. I sleep: how sweet to me oblivion: Forgotten all my youthful dreams! Within my soul is naught but turmoil, And love shall wake no more for thee. Thanks to The Lied and Art Song Texts Page for the English translation.
