Сон
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Spanish (Español)
Не знаю, что это значит... Сон чудесный приснился мне, Как будто в лодке рыбачьей Я плыву по бурной волне Чёлн без вёсел, я их бросил... Волны пенятся, злятся и топят мой чёлн, Но отважно мчусь я среди тёмных, Средь огромных волн, Оттого, что в рыбачей этой лодке По морской непокорной глуби Мчишься ты, моя гордая, мчишся вместе со мной И меня ты будто тоже любишь! О моя голубка! Посмотри же, Как несётся в своей лодочке крупкой по морю Бедный парень, что так крепко любит тебя!

Dream (Barcarolle)
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
I don't know what it means... I dreamed in a magical sleep I was in a fishing boat I cruised on the stormy wave My boat has no oars – I threw them away... The waves foam angrily – try to sink my vessel But, bravely I speed on through the dark through the enormous waves Because in this fishing boat on the sea's unruly depths Speed you also, my proud one, Speed together with me And it seems as if you love me O my dove! Look now How towards you in his fragile little boat Poor fellow that loves you so strongly!
