Нескромный взгляд

Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

У ивы зелёной и тонкой
обнажился колеблемый ствол,
когда веющий ветер в сторону
ветви отвёл.

А сегодня о радость моя,
я ноги твои увидал,
когда твоим лёгким платьем
веющий ветер играл.

Un regard indiscret

Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)

Le saule vert et mince
a son tronc qui se balance nu
quand le vent a soufflé, et a écarté
les branches de côté.

Et aujourd'hui, ô joie,
j'ai vu tes jambes,
quand avec ta robe légère
le vent en soufflant a joué.
