Моё сердце ‑‑ родник, моя песня ‑‑ волна
Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: ENG
Моё сердце -- родник, моя песня -- волна, Пропадая вдали -- разливается... Под грозой -- моя песня, как туча, темна, На заре -- в ней заря отражается. Если ж вдруг вспыхнут искры нежданной любви Или на сердце горе накопится -- В лоно песни моей льются слёзы мои, И волна уносить их торопится.

Wie ein Quell ist mein Herz, wie die...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Wie ein Quell ist mein Herz, wie die Welle mein Lied, Fernhin strömt's und verströmt wie in Flutennacht. Braust der Sturm, gleicht's der Wolke, die schwarzdräuend zieht, Naht's gen Tag, flammt's in Morgenrotglutenpracht. Doch wenn jäh neue Liebe sich lodernd entfacht, Oder Wehe das Herz vollgesogen ganz, Dann ergiesst sich ins Lied meines Tränenstroms Macht, Und weithin trägt es fort dann der Wogentanz.
