Во глубине сибирских руд

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Во глубине сибирских руд
Храните гордое терпенье,
Не пропадёт ваш скорбный труд
И дум высокое стремленье...

Несчастью верная сестра, 
Надежда в мрачном подземелье
Разбудит бодрость и веселье,
Придёт желанная пора:

Любовь и дружество до вас
Дойдут сквозь мрачные затворы,
Как в ваши каторжные норы
Доходит мой свободный глас.

Оковы тяжкие падут,
Темницы рухнут и свобода
Вас примет радостно у входа, 
И братья меч вам отдадут.

Dans les profondeurs des mines de...

Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)

Dans les profondeurs des mines de Sibérie
Gardez votre fière patience,
Ne disparaitront ni votre travail affligeant
Ni l'aspiration de vos pensées élevées.

Du malheur fidèle sœur,
L'espérance dans le sombre souterrain
Allumera la vivacité et la joie,
Il arrivera le temps si désiré :

L'amour et l'amitié vers vous
Arriveront à travers les sombres verrous,
Comme dans vos terriers rudes,
Descend ma voix libre.

Les fers pesants tomberont,
Le cachot s'écroulera - et la liberté
Vous embrassera gaiement à la porte,
Et vos frères vous rendront vos épées.
