Любовник розы‑соловей
Language: Russian (Русский) after the English
Любовник розы-соловей прислал тебе цветок свой милый: он будет песнею своей всю ночь пленять твой дух унылый. Он любит петь в тиши ночей, и дышит песнь его тоскою; Но, [обнадеженный мечтою]1, споёт он песню веселей. И с думой тайною моей тебя коснется пенья сладость и напоёт на сердце радость любовни розы-соловей.

Chanson de Zuléika
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Le rossignol, amant des fleurs, T'envoie au soir sa rose aimée. Par ses refrains doux, enchanteurs, Qu'il charme ton âme attristée. Il chante bien pendant la nuit, Et sa chanson dit son ennui ! Mais par ton charme captivé Il va renaître à la gaîté. Et doucement il te dira L'aveu que dire, moi, je n'ose ! Le rossignol, cher à la rose, Pour toi dans l'ombre chantera, Et son doux chant te charmera.
