Не пой, красавица, при мне
 (Sung text for setting by N. Rimsky-Korsakov)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG ITA JPN
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!

Я образ милый, роковой,
Тебя увидев, забываю;
Но ты поёшь, и предо мной
Его я вновь воображаю.

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

Note: modern Russian would spell "оне" as "они" ("oni")

歌うなかれ、美しいひとよ、私の前で
 (Sung text translation for setting by N. Rimsky-Korsakov)
 See original
Language: Japanese (日本語)  after the Russian (Русский) 
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!

君を見ているだけなら
愛しい、運命的な幻影も忘れることができる
だが君が歌うと、私の目の前に
またそれが浮かんでくるのだ

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
