  The lyrics of the song is Thomas Moor's (1779—1852) "Those Evening Bells" translated by Russian poet Ivan Kozlov (1779—1840).
  
  Those evening bells! Those evening bells!
  How many a tale their music tells
  of youth, and home and that sweet time,
  When last I heard their soothing chime.
  
  Those joyous hours are past away,
  And many a heart that then was gay
  Within the tomb now darkly dwells
  And hears no more these evening bells.
  
  And so 'twill be when I am gone;
  That tuneful peal will still ring on
  while other bards will walk these dells,
  and sing your praise, sweet evening bells.  less
