Слышишь, сани мчатся в ряд
Language: Russian (Русский) after the English
Слышишь, сани мчатся в ряд,
Мчатся в ряд!
Колокольчики звенят,
Серебристым лёгким звоном слух наш сладостно томят,
Этим пеньем и гуденьем о забвенье говорят.
О, как звонко, звонко, звонко,
Точно звучный смех ребёнка,
В ясном воздухе ночном
Говорят они о том,
Что за днями заблужденья
Наступает возрожденье,
Что волшебно наслажденье -- наслажденье нежным сном.
Сани мчатся, мчатся в ряд,
Колокольчики звенят,
Звёзды слушают, как сани, убегая, говорят,
И, внимая им, горят,
И мечтая, и блистая, в небе духами парят;
И изменчивым сияньем,
Молчаливым обаяньем,
Вместе с звоном, вместе с пеньем, о забвенье говорят.

Listen! Sleds rushing past in a row
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
Listen! Sleds rushing past in a row,
Rushing past in a row!
Their tiny bells ringing,
Their easy, silvery peal falls on our ears like ambrosia,
Their humming and pinging whisper of oblivion.
O how clearly, clearly, clearly --
Indeed, with sonorous childlike laughter --
In the clear night air
They tell the tale,
Of how deception and delusion
Will be followed by renewal
And that enchanting delight -- delightful, tender sleep.
Sleds rushing, rushing past in a row,
Their tiny bells ringing,
Stars hear how the escaping sleds whisper,
And, following them, glow,
And dream, and shine, in the sky hovering;
And their fickle light
Silently enchanting,
Together with the ringing, together with the singing, tell of oblivion.
