Минула страсть, и пыл её тревожный Уже не мучит сердца моего, Но разлюбить тебя мне невозможно! Всё, что не ты - так суетно, так ложно, Всё, что не ты - бесцветно и мертво. Без повода и права негодуя, Уж не кипит бунтующая кровь, Но с пошлой жизнью слиться не могу я, Моя любовь, о друг, и не ревнуя, Осталась та же прежняя любовь.

Passion spent, the fervor of its frenzy No longer torments my heart, But for me to stop loving you - is impossible! All that is not you -- is so vain, so false! All that is not you -- is colorless and dead. Without cause or righteousness, in indignation, My rebellious blood no longer boils. But with mundane life I can no longer feel at one. My love, oh friend, without jealousy, Has remained the same love as before.
