Не отходи от меня

Не отходи от меня,
Друг мой, останься со мной!
Не отходи от меня:
Мне так отрадно с тобой!

Ближе друг к другу, чем мы,
Ближе нельзя нам и быть;
Чище, живее, сильней
Мы не умеем любить.

Если же ты предо мной
Грустно головку склоня,
Мне так отрадно с тобой...
Не отходи от меня!

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas,
Mon ami, reste avec moi !
Ne me quitte pas :
Je suis tellement heureuse d'être avec toi !

Plus près de l'autre que nous,
Plus près de nous, ce ne peut être ;
Plus pur, plus vivant, plus fort,
Nous saurions comment aimer.

Si tu es en face de moi,
Ta tête est baissée de tristesse,
Je suis tellement heureuse d'être avec toi !
Ne me quitte pas !
