Shostakovich 14 - Text

I bought recently the Kondrashin and, as expected, the text is not included in the liner notes. Any ideas on where I can find it on the web? Preferably with a translation, since my Russian is a bit, er, rusty.

Thanks in advance.

Use a search engine. That's what they are for.

Apollinaire, Lorca, and Rilke in Russian.

Or directly to:

(since the bloody site stupidly uses frames).

In the Haitink recording, the texts are sung in the original langauges, IIRC (with the composer's permission).

With the exception of Apollinaire's Lorely, which is sung in German. Haitink's version is really the third approved version by DSCH, as he did approve of a second version to be sung completely in German. The original being of course in Russian.
