Пустое вы сердечным ты
Она, обмолвясь, заменила
И [все счастливые]1 мечты
В душе влюблённой [возбудила]2.
Пред ней задумчиво стою,
Свести очей с неё нет силы;
И говорю ей: как вы милы!
И мыслю: как тебя люблю.

A formal You with a heartfelt Thou
She substituted, with a slip of the tongue
And all the happy dreams
Have awakened within my enamoured soul.
I stand before her deep in thought,
Unable to take my gaze away from her;
I say to her: You are so charming!
But think: how I love Thee!
