Сирень
Language: Russian (Русский)
По утру, на заре, По росистой траве, Я пойду свежим утром дышать; И в душистую тень, Где теснится сирень, Я пойду своё счастье искать... В жизни счастье одно Мне найти суждено, И то счастье в сирени живёт; На зелёных ветвях, На душистых кистях Моё бедное счастье цветёт...

Les lilas
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Au matin, par les prés tout mouillés de rosée Un vent frais remplira mes poumons. Aux bosquets parfumés où fleurit le lilas Je sais bien le bonheur qui m'attend. Et c'est le seul bonheur que le sort me promet, Sous l'abri parfumé des lilas. Sur les branches en fleur, par la verte feuillée, Humble et doux mon bonheur va fleurir.
From the 1947 Rachmaninov edition.
