Eugen Doga passed away about one week ago. I stumbled upon Ochiul tău iubit, a musical composition of his (on verses of Eminescu written for his beloved Veronica Micle) as sung by soprano Valentina Nafornița: official video (2017; with over-produced framing story that does not match the song which is repeated twice with terrible English captions), 2017 (live in Leningrad), 2018 or 2023 (live in Chișinău).

Ochiul tău iubitYour beloved eyes

Ochiul tău iubit
Plin de mângâieri
Dulce mi-a lucit
Până ieri.

Oare te pierdui
Pe acest pământ
Fără ca să-mi spui
Un cuvânt?

Luna în zadar
Bate în ferești
Și mă întreabă iar
Unde ești?

Ar luci pe zid
Până ce te culci
Până ți se închid
Ochii dulci.

Chipul tău frumos
Să-l privesc întreg
Cu atât ponos
Să mă leg.

Să am parcă în vis
Al cele vederi
Care mi-a surâs
Până ieri.

De te-ai potrivit
Astei rugăminți
Fericiți vom fi
Și cuminți.

Zână din păduri,
Umbră din povești,
Glasul tău cel bun
Unde ești?

Unde ești?

Your beloved eyes
Full of caresses
Sweetly shone on me
Until yesterday.

Did I lose you
On this earth
Without telling me
A word?

The moon in vain
Knocks on panes
And asks me again
Where are you?

It would shine on the wall
Until you go to bed
Until your
sweet eyes close.

Your beautiful face
To look at it all
So little
To tie me up.

To have as if in a dream
Of that sight
That smiled at me
Until yesterday.

If you had agreed
To this request
We would be happy
And good.

Fairy from the forests,
Shadow from folk tales,
Your good voice
Where are you?

Where are you?

Here is another version of Eminescu's poem.
