by Mirzə Şəfi Vazeh (1794 - 1852)
Translation by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893)

Клубится волною кипучею Кур
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan dili) 
Клубится волною кипучею Кур,
восходит дневное светило;
как весело сердцу, душе как легко!
О, если б навеки так было!

Кубок полон мой, я впиваю с вином
и бодрость, и радость, и силу;
ослепляет меня чудный блеск очей,
о! если б навеки так было!

Вот ночь наступает, природу с небес
светом кротким луна озарила,
но и в мраке сияет звезда любви,
о! если б навеки так было!

Если хочешь ты, чтоб душа моя
всю любовь в твои очи излила,
скорей приходи же, темно в ночи,
о! если б навеки так было!
