Я любила его
 (Sung text for setting by A. Dyubyuk)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Я любила его 
Жарче дня и огня,
Как другие любить
Не смогут никогда!

Только с ним лишь одним 
Я на свете жила;
Ему душу мою, 
Ему жизнь отдала!

Что за ночь, за луна, 
Когда друга я жду!
И бледна, холодна, 
Замираю, дрожу!

Вот идёт он, поёт: 
«Где ты зорька моя?»
Вот он руку берёт, 
Вот целует меня!

«Милый друг, погаси
Поцелуи твои!
И без них при тебе 
Огнь пылает в крови;

И без них при тебе 
Жжёт румянец лицо,
И волнуется грудь 
И кипит горячо!

И блистают глаза
Лучезарной звездой!»
Я жила для него --
Я любила душой!
