Птичка
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Polish (Polski)
Птичка божия про-
снулася с зарею,
а уж пахаря за-
стала за сохою.
Полетит она к ла-
зурным небесам
и, что видит в сёлах,
всё расскажет там.
Скажет птичка богу,
что бедняк страдает,
что крова в а вым потом
ниву орошает.
Не мила, как птичке,
пахарю весна:
не несет ц собою
радостей она...
Встретил бы он солнце
песенкой веселой,
да молчать заставил
гнет нужды тяжелый
на сердце заботы,
как свинец, лежат,
поневоле песня
не пойдет налад.
Скажет птичка богу,
чтоб его рука
поддержа ла в горькой
доле бедняка.
Чтоб ему нести свой
крест достало силы,
чтоб без ропота цо-
рпел он до могилы,
чтоб без ропота
цорпел он до могилы...

Le petit oiseau
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Le petit oiseau de Dieu
Se réveilla à l'aube,
Il trouva seulement
Le laboureur à sa charrue.
Il vole vers
Le ciel azur
Et ce qu'il a vu dans les villages
Il y raconte tout.
Le petit oiseau dit à Dieu
Que le pauvre homme souffre,
Qu'avec du sang et de la sueur
Il irrigue le champ de maïs.
Il n'est pas doux, comme pour l'oiseau,
Le printemps du laboureur ;
Il ne lui apporte pas comme à lui
De la joie...
L'homme saluerait le soleil
D'une chanson gaie,
Mais il est réduit au silence
Par le poids de la nécessité.
Sur son cœur les soucis
Pèsent comme du plomb,
Inévitablement sa chanson
Ne sera pas dans le ton.
Le petit oiseau prie Dieu
Que sa main soutienne
Le sort amer
Du pauvre homme.
Pour qu'il ait assez de force
Pour porter sa croix.
Pour que sans se plaindre
Il arrive à sa tombe,
Pour que sans se plaindre
Il arrive à sa tombe.
