Olga's Aria from Tchaikovsky's 'Eugene Onegin' sung by mezzo, Rozanna Madylus, pianist Paul McKenzie. Capinski Recordings.

Ah, Tanya, Tanya
You are always away with the fairies…
And I am not like you, I am happy when I hear singing:
“Over the little bridge,
over the wooden planks”…

I am not capable of languid sorrow,
I don’t like dreaming in quiet,
And on the balcony in the middle of the night
Sighing, sighing
from the depth of my soul.
Why should I sigh
when my happy days are here?
I am carefree and mischievous,
Everybody considers me just a child.
My life will always be dear to me
And I will remain forever,
As jaunty hope,
Playful, frolicsome, jolly…
