Ночи безумные, ночи бессонные
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ночи безумные, ночи бессонные,
Речи несвязные, взоры усталые...
Ночи, последним огнем озаренные,
Осени мёртвой цветы запоздалые!
Пусть даже время рукой беспощадною
Мне указало, что было в вас ложного,
Всё же лечу я к вам памятью жадною,
В прошлом ответа ищу невозможного...
Вкрадчивым шепотом вы заглушаете
Звуки дневные, несносные, шумные...
В тихую ночь вы мой сон отгоняете,
Ночи бессонные, ночи безумные!

Frenzied nights, reckless nights
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
Frenzied nights, reckless nights,
Incoherent thoughts, tired glances...
Nights, illuminated by the last fire,
Autumn’s dead flowers blooming too late!
Even if the merciless hand of time
Has showed me that which was false in you,
I still fly to you full of a covetous memory,
Stuck in the past, looking for an impossible answer...
Insinuating whispers from you muffle
The sounds of day, unbearable, noisy...
In the quiet night, you drive away my dream,
frenzied nights, reckless nights!
