Русая головка

(Sung text for setting by A. Dargomyzhsky)

See original

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG FRE

У окна в тени мелькает 
  Русая головка.
Ты не спишь, моё мученье!
  Ты не спишь, плутовка!

Выходи ко мне навстречу!
  С жаждой поцелуя
сердце к сердцу молодое
  Пламенно прижму я.

Ты не бойся, если звёзды
  Слишком ярко светят:
Я плащом тебя накрою
  Так, что не заметят.

Если часовой окликнет
  Назовись солдатом; 
Если спросят, с кем была ты?
  Отвечай, что с братом.

À la fenêtre dans l'ombre apparaît

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Dargomyzhsky)

See original

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

À la fenêtre dans l'ombre apparaît
  Une tête blonde,
Tu ne dors pas, mon tourment,
  Tu ne dors pas, petite rouée !

Viens ici me voir !
  Assoiffée de baisers
Mon cœur contre le tien, si jeunes,
  Passionnément l'un contre l'autre.

N'aie pas peur si les étoiles
  Brillent fort :
Je t'envelopperai de mon manteau
  Pour qu'on ne te voie pas.

Si le garde nous appelle,
  Dis que tu es un soldat ;
S'il demande avec qui tu es,
  Réponds que c'est ton frère.
