Приди ко мне, когда зефир Колышет рощами лениво, Когда и луг, и степь - весь мир Оденется в покров сонливый. Приди ко мне, когда луна Из облак в облака ныряет, [Иль]1 с неба чистого она Так пышно воды озлащает. Приди ко мне, когда весь я В любовны думы погружаюсь, Когда, красавица, тебя Нетерпеливо дожидаюсь. Приди ко мне, когда любовь Восторги пылкие рождает, Когда моя младая кровь Кипит, волнуется, играет. Приди ко мне: вдвойне с тобой Хочу я жизню наслаждаться, Хочу к твоей груди младой Со всею страстию прижаться...

Viens vers moi, quand le zéphyr Secoue doucement les buissons, Quand la prairie et la steppe, le monde entier Sont recouverts d'un voile de sommeil, Viens vers moi, quand la lune Saute d'un nuage à l'autre, Et depuis les cieux clairs Peint si magnifiquement l'eau. Viens vers moi, quand l'amour Engendre des plaisirs passionnés, Quand mon jeune sang Bout, est agité, joue. Viens vers moi : ensemble avec toi, Je veux profiter de la vie, Je veux sur ta jeune poitrine Me serrer avec toute ma passion.
