me to this tryst
Are you waiting for me, my love?
My heart tells me you are
Oh, where are you?
Answer my call of love
Shall I see you soon?
Quickly, answer my call of love
Remember, I'm suffering
I'm waiting for your love
I love you more than I love life
Why are you late?
Come to me
Don't be afraid
Everyone is asleep...
...sleeping peacefully
Oh, where are you?
Answer my call of love
Shall I live to feel your embrace?
Quickly, answer my call of love
Come under cover of night
When only the stars
watch us two alone
Everyone is asleep around us
Everyone is sleeping
Come
Is that you, Vladimir, my love?
I've been longing for you
- Do you love me?
- Do I love you?
Oh, my joy
Yes, I love you with all my heart
My beloved
I love you with all my heart
Life is nothing without you
Will you soon be mine?
Shall I soon be yours?
Soon I shall call you my wife
- Yes, soon I'll call you my wife
- Your wife, my love
- My love
- Say the words of love again
Let me hear them again, my love
- I love you with all my heart
- Love me with all your passion
- Will I be your wife?
- Will you be my wife?
Oh, my love
- You are mine
- I am yours
Will your father give his consent?
No
As long as we are prisoners
he will not consent
But my father already agrees
Go, someone is coming
No, there's no one
I hear footsteps.
It's my father
Don't be afraid
- Forgive me
- Are you going?
No sleep or rest
for my troubled soul
Night brings neither comfort
nor oblivion
I live the past again...
...alone in the silence
of the night
The omen from God
Our celebrations
and my victory over the enemy
The sad end to my glory
Defeat, my capture
The loss of all my men...
...fallen in the battle
for their country
My glory and honour are gone,
I've disgraced my country
Shameful captivity
That is my destiny
and I am held to blame
Give me my freedom
and I shall atone
I will redeem my honour and glory
I'll save Russia from the enemy
Only you, my love,
will not blame me
With your sensitive heart
you will understand
You will forgive me
Watching from the high tower
your eyes have grown tired
Day and night
you wait for your love
You weep bitter tears
How can I spend my days
in pointless captivity...
...knowing the enemy
is sacking Russia?
The enemy is like a wild beast
Russia groans in its grip
and I am held responsible
Give me my freedom
and I shall atone
I'll save Russia from the enemy
No sleep or rest
for my troubled soul
The night brings no hope of escape
I live the past again...
...alone in the silence
of the night
There is no escape
I am so miserable
How cruel it is to know
how powerless I am
A word, prince
I've long wanted to speak to you
What do you want?
Look, the dawn
is chasing away the darkness
It will dawn for you and Russia
There is a way
I know a way
You?
I will find you swift horses
Make your escape in secret
What?
I, a prince, run away in secret?
Think what you're saying
Forgive my bold words
But think about what I said
You must escape for Russia's sake
Save your country...
...your faith, your people
Enough!
Perhaps Ovlur is right
I must save my land
But there is no other way
Perhaps this is the dawn
for me and Russia...
...and the light of the sun
will shine once more
Escape: is it possible?
I am the Khan's prisoner
Leave me alone
You have not promised allegiance
to the Khan
You have not sworn on the cross
You are right, Ovlur
Thank you for your help,
I shall think about it
Are you well, prince?
Why so sad, my guest?
What are you thinking about?
Are the nets torn?
Are the hawks not quick enough
to catch a bird in flight?
Then take mine
The net is not torn
and the hawks are good
But a falcon
cannot live in captivity
Have you always thought yourself
a captive?
But you are not a captive,
you are my guest
You were wounded at Kayala
and captured with your men
You were given to me as a hostage
But here you are my
