Баркарола

Уснули голубые
сегодня, как вчера.
Ох, волны удалые,
надолго ль? - до утра? А...
У нас и в мраке ночи
волнение любви
слезами топит очи,
огнём горит в крови.
И плеском размахнулось
широкое весло,
и тихо распахнулось
заветное окно. О...
И вам покою, волны,
страдалец не даёт:
надежд и страсти полны,
всю ночь любовь поёт.
Уснули голубые
сегодня, как вчера.
Ох, волны удалые,
не спать вам до утра. А...

Barcarolle
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
The blue ones have fallen asleep
Today, like yesterday.
Oh, distant waves,
How long will it be? Until morning?
In the darkness of night we have
The excitement of love
Our eyes drown with tears,
Fire burns in our blood.
And the wide oar flourished
With a splash,
And the cherished window
Quietly sung open.
And the sufferer does not give,
Rest to you, waves;
Full of hope and desire,
Love sings all night.
The blue ones have fallen asleep
Today, like yesterday.
Oh, distant waves,
How long will it be? Until morning?
