Романс молодого цыгана
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Взгляни: под отдалённым сводом
гуляет вольная луна;
на всю природу мимоходом
равно сиянье льёт она.
Кто в небе место ей укажет,
промолвя:  там остановись!
Кто сердцу юной девы скажет:
люби одно, не изменись!
Кто в небе место ей укажет,
промолвя:  там остановись!
Кто сердцу юной девы скажет:
не изменись, люби одно!

Song of the Young Gypsy
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский) 
Look:  beneath the distant vault [of heaven]
strolls the free moon;
upon all nature, as [it] passes,
it pours [its] radiance equally.
Who will point out a place to it in the sky,
saying:  "stop there!"
Who will say to the heart of a young maiden:
"love one; do not change!"
Who will point out a place to it in the sky,
saying:  "stop there!"
Who will say to the heart of a young maiden:
"do not change; love one!"
