Сей день, я помню, для меня

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Сей день, я помню, для меня
был утром, жизненного дня.
Стояла молча предо мною, 
Вздымалась грудь ея [волною]¹,
Алели щеки как заря,
Все жарче рдея и горя...
И вдруг, как солнце золотое,
Любви признанье молодое,
Исторглось из груди ея,
И новый мир увидел я!

Je me souviens de ce jour, pour moi

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

Je me souviens de ce jour, pour moi
C'était le matin du jour de la vie.
Elle se tenait en silence devant moi,
Sa poitrine haletait,
Ses joues rougissaient comme l'aube,
Brillant d'un feu de plus en plus chaud,
Et soudain, comme un soleil d'or,
Une jeune confession d'amour
Éclata dans sa poitrine,
Et j'ai vu un nouveau monde !
