J'ai regardé le ciel, et ma paupière N'a rencontré que nuages errants ; Triste et pensif, j'ai regardé la terre, La feuille morte y roulait sous les vents. J'ai regardé l'immensité de l'onde, Qui sur le sable échouait à grand bruit, J'ai regardé dans mon âme profonde, Et nul rayon n'en éclairait la nuit.

Na nebo vzgljanul ja, i tuchi Uvidel ja chernye tam. Na zemlju vzgljanul ja - katilis' Pobleklye list'ja k nogam. I v dushu k sebe zagljanul ja: Kak na nebe, mrachno i v nej, I luch upovan'ja ne svetit Dushe okhladeloj mojej.
