Что в имени тебе моём?

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Что в имени тебе моём?
Оно умрёт, как шум печальный
Волны, плеснувшей в берег дальний,
Как звук ночной в лесу глухом.

 ... 

Что в нём? Забытое давно
В тревогах новых и мятежных,
Твоей душе не даст оно
Воспоминаний светлых нежных.

Но в час печали, в тишине,
Произнеси его тоскуя;
Скажи: есть память обо мне,
Есть в мире сердце, где живу я...

Qu'est mon nom pour toi ?

(Sung text translation for setting by N. Rimsky-Korsakov)

See original

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

Qu'est mon nom pour toi ?
Il mourra, comme le triste bruit
Des vagues, qui clapotent sur la rive éloignée,
Comme le murmure nocturne de la forêt sauvage.

 ... 

Qu'y a-t-il en lui ? Oublié depuis longtemps
Dans l'agitation nouvelle et révoltée,
À ton âme il ne donnera pas
De souvenirs nets, tendres.

Mais le jour du deuil, dans le silence,
Prononce-le tristement ;
Dis : le souvenir de ma personne
Réside dans la paix du cœur, où je me tiens...
