Что вам слова любви?
 (Sung text for setting by M. Musorgsky)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Что вам слова любви?
Вы бредом назовёте.
Что слёзы вам мои?
И слёз вы не поймёте.

Оставьте ж мне мечты.
Ни словом и ни взглядом
Сердечной теплоты
Не отравляйте ядом.

Люблю её одну,
Как жизнь мою,
Как свет, люблю,
Люблю, как тишину
Моих очарований,
От злой людской толпы
Я в даль немую рвуся
И к ней на крыльях дум
Далёко уношуся!
