Много есть у меня Теремов и садов, И раздольных полей, И дремучих лесов. Много есть у меня Деревень и людей, И знакомых бояр, И надёжных друзей. Много есть у меня Жемчугов и мехов, [Драгоценных одежд, Разноцветных ковров]1. Много есть у меня Для пиров — серебра, Для бесед — красных слов, Для веселья — вина! Но я знаю, на что Трав волшебных ищу; Но я знаю, о чём Сам с собою грущу…
M. Musorgsky sets stanzas 1, 3-5

J'ai de nombreux Palais et jardins, Et des champs sans limites Et des forêts épaisses. J'ai beaucoup De villages et d'âmes, Et de boyards familiers Et d'amis fiables. J'ai beaucoup De perles et de fourrures, Et des tapis précieux, Et des habits colorés. J'ai beaucoup D'argent pour ma table, Une conversation pleine de mots brillants pour mes invités, Pour s'amuser du vin ! Mais je sais pourquoi Ces potions magiques, je les cherche, Mais je sais pourquoi, Mon cœur est triste.
