by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Translation by Karolina Karlovna Pavlova (1807 - 1893)

Не верь мне друг, когда в избытке горя
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  DUT FRE
Не [верь мне друг, когда в избытке]1 горя,
Я говорю, что разлюбил тебя,
В отлива час не верь измене моря,
Оно к земле воротится, любя.

Уж я тоскую, прежней страсти полный,
[Мою]2 свободу вновь тебе отдам,
И уж бегут [с обратным]3 шумом волны
Издалека к любимым берегам!

Glaube mir nicht
 (Sung text for setting by M. de Rothschild)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Glaube mir nicht, wenn du aus meinem Munde
Das Wort vernimmst: "ich liebe dich nicht mehr;"
Dem Flieh'n der See in ihrer Ebbestunde
Glaub' nimmer du, harr' ihrer Wiederkehr.

Es schwillt das Herz in Lieb'- und Schmerzensgluthen,
Ich fühle mich wie neu an Dich gebannt,
Und brausend rollen die entwichnen Fluthen 
Zurücke schon zu dem geliebten Strand.
Confirmed with Aus russischen Dichtern: Lyrisches, Episches, Dramatisches in deutschen Übertragungen, 1887
