Дивный терем стоит

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Дивный терем стоит,
И хором много в нём,
но светлее из всех
Есть хорома одна.

В ней невеста живёт,
Всех красавиц милей,
всех блестящей из звезд -
Звезда северная.

Призадумалась, пригорюнилась,
на кольцо своё обручальное
уронила она слезу крупную,
о далеком, о нём вспоминаючи!

Он уехал, жених,
Он в чужой стороне,
и вернётся сюда
Он не скоро ещё.

Он вернётся сюда,
Когда будет весна:
с солнцем ярким взойдёт
Солнце радости.

Chant de mariage

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

Une merveilleuse tour est là
Avec de nombreuses pièces,
Mais la plus éclatante
Est une pièce unique.

En elle une fiancée vit,
La plus de toutes les belles,
Plus brillante parmi les étoiles
Comme l'étoile du nord.

Elle pense, elle se sent triste,
Sur l'anneau de son engagement
Elle laisse tomber une grosse larme,
En pensant à son bien-aimé lointain !

Il est parti, le fiancé,
Il est dans un pays étranger,
Et il ne reviendra pas ici
De si tôt.

Il reviendra ici
Quand ce sera le printemps,
Avec le soleil brillant se lèvera
Le soleil de joie.
