Не пой, красавица, при мне
Ты песен Грузии печальной;
Напоминают мне оне
Другую жизнь и берег дальний.

Увы, напоминают мне
Твои жестокие напевы
И степь, и ночь, и при луне
Черты далекой, бедной девы!

歌わないでくれ、美しい女よ、私の前では
君の、その悲しいジョージアの歌を
その歌は私に別の人生と
遠い海辺を想い起こさせる

ああ、君の残酷な旋律は
大草原や夜、そして月に映る
遠くの、哀れな少女の姿を
私に想い出させる!
