1. Любовь
Language: Russian (Русский)
Дай только солнцу за гору зайти, к тебе я скоро выйду! Тёмной ночью ты подойдёшь ко мне, подобна утренней заре, красива, как еветок, едва расцветший, и руку нежную, горячую от страсти и любви к тебе, я руку положу на грудь твою. Друг к другу мы прижмёмся; лёжа, целоваться будем, руки подложив под головы взамен подушек; бёдра сблизим. О, как люблю я, как люблю тебя я страстно, нежно, моя радость. Дай только солнцу за гору зайти, к тебе я выйду.

1. Amour
Language: French (Français)
Dès que le soleil se couchera derrière la montagne, je viendrai vite vers toi ! Dans le noir de la nuit tu t'approcheras de moi, comme l'aube du matin. Tu es belle comme une fleur, encore en bouton, et ma main tendre, brûlante de passion de d'amour pour toi, je la poserai sur ton sein. Nous nous serrerons l'un contre l'autre : nous nous allongerons et nous embrasserons les bras passés sous nos têtes comme oreillers ; nous rapprocherons nos hanches. O, comme je t'aime, comme je t'aime passionnément, tendrement, ma joie. Dès que le soleil se couchera derrière la montagne, je viendrai vite vers toi !

2. Перед самоубийством
Language: Russian (Русский)
Уныло сыплются листы. Густой туман пруд застилает. Гуси дикие кричат испуганно на озере, опять кричат. Сны мрачные витают над моей главой, на сердце тяжесть. через год, когда раздастся снова крик гусей, я не услышу их.

2. Avant le suicide
Language: French (Français)
Les feuilles tombent découragées, un épais brouillard recouvre l'étang. Les oies sauvages crient effrayées sur le lac, crient encore. Des rêves sombres sur ma tête et un poids sur mon cœur. Une année passera avant que le cri des oies résonne à nouveau, Mais je ne l'entendrai pas.

3. Нескромный взгляд
Language: Russian (Русский)
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.

3. Un regard indiscret
Language: French (Français)
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.

4. В первый и в последний раз
Language: Russian (Русский)
Я сорвал твой цветок, ты моя. Я прижал тебя к сердцу, к сердцу и слился с тобой. Когда ночь отлетела, я увидел, что тебя со мною больше нет. Осталась лишь боль, лишь боль. Много ещё будет у тебя цветов, благоуханных и дивных, но моё время рвать цветы прошло, И в тёмной ночи нет у меня милой. Осталась лишь боль, лишь боль...

4. La première et la dernière fois
Language: French (Français)
J'ai cueilli ta fleur, tu es mienne. Je t'ai serrée sur mon cœur, sur mon cœur et j'ai fondu en toi. Quand la nuit s'est enfuie j'ai vu que tu n'étais plus avec moi. Il restait seulement la douleur, la douleur. Tu auras encore plus de fleurs, odorantes et magnifiques, mais mon temps pour les cueillir est passé, et dans la nuit sombre je n'ai pas de bien-aimée avec moi. Il reste seulement la douleur, la douleur.
