by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Я вас любил
 (Sung text for setting by A. Aliabev)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG FRE ITA
Я вас любил: любовь ещё, быть может,
В душе моей угасла не совсем;
Но пусть она вас больше не тревожит:
Я не хочу печалить вас ничем.

Я вас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,
То робостью, то ревностью томим:
Я вас любил так искренно, так нежно,
Как дай вам Бог любимой быть другим.
