Много есть у меня теремов

(Sung text for setting by M. Musorgsky)

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Много есть у меня
Теремов и садов,
И раздольных полей,
И дремучих лесов.

 ... 

Много есть у меня
Жемчугов и мехов,
Разноцветных одежд,
Драгоценных ковров.

Много есть у меня
Для пиров — серебра,
Для бесед — красных слов,
Для веселья — вина!

Но я знаю, на что
Трав волшебных ищу;
Но я знаю, о чём
Сам с собою грущу…

J'ai de nombreux palais et jardins

(Sung text translation for setting by M. Musorgsky)

See original

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

J'ai de nombreux 
Palais et jardins,
Et des champs sans limites 
Et des forêts épaisses.

 ... 

J'ai beaucoup 
De perles et de fourrures,
Et des tapis précieux,
Et des habits colorés.

J'ai beaucoup 
D'argent pour ma table,
Une conversation pleine de mots brillants pour mes invités, 
Pour s'amuser du vin !

Mais je sais pourquoi 
Ces potions magiques, je les cherche, 
Mais je sais pourquoi,
Mon cœur est triste.
