Слеза дрожит
 (Sung text for setting by P. Tchaikovsky)

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Слеза дрожит в твоём ревнивом взоре,
О, не грусти, ты всё мне дорога,
Но я любить могу лишь на просторе,
Мою любовь, широкую как море,
Вместить не могут, нет! вместить не могут жизни берега.

 ... 

Но не грусти, земное минет горе,
Пожди ещё, неволя недолга --
В одну любовь мы все сольёмся вскоре,
В одну любовь, широкую как море,
Что не вместят, нет! что не вместят земные берега.
