На небо взглянул я | На небо взглянул я, и тучи

Translation by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

J'ai regardé le ciel, et ma paupière

Language: French (Français)

J'ai regardé le ciel, et ma paupière 
N'a rencontré que nuages errants ;
Triste et pensif, j'ai regardé la terre, 
La feuille morte y roulait sous les vents.

J'ai regardé l'immensité de l'onde, 
Qui sur le sable échouait à grand bruit,
J'ai regardé dans mon âme profonde,
Et nul rayon n'en éclairait la nuit.

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

На небо взглянул я, и тучи
Увидел я черные там.
На землю взглянул я - катились
Поблеклые листья к ногам.

И в душу к себе заглянул я:
Как на небе, мрачно и в ней,
И луч упованья не светит
Душе охладелой моей.
