Translated lyrics by Seonaidh Morton:-

0: [Solo tenor sings Russian verse]

1: [Given in Russian in the score]
In the yard the silence is like the grave,
There's no whisper till dawns the light.
If you only knew how my spirit craves
For the still of the Moscow night.

2: Soft the river flows, yet it does not flow,
Glinting in the moon's silver light.
And a song is heard, but unheard below,
In the still of the Moscow night.

3: Why do you, my dear, seem to look away,
With you head bowed down out of sight?
It's so hard to say, and yet not to say
How I long for the Moscow night.

4: [Add one degree of noise: p>mp, mp>mf, mf>f]
Now the sky grows lighter, a new day dawns,
So, my darling, let's do what's right.
Let us ne'er forget, on this summer morn,
All the still of the Moscow night. [slow down and hold last]
