Our translations: FRE

На землю сумрак пал; 
не шелохнут кусты;
Свернулись лилии поблекшие листы,
И тихо озеро почило.

Под обаянием волшебной красоты,
Стою задумавшись: «Что грустен нынче ты,
И всё кругом тебя уныло?»

Поутру прихожу: оживлена росой,
Проснулась лилия, блистая красотой
И милая, в блистающей одежде.

С улыбкою привет на небо шлет она.
И плещет в озере веселая волна...
А я! Я... мне грустно!
Мне грустно, как и прежде!

Le soleil s'est couché sur la terre

(Sung text translation for setting by P. Tchaikovsky)

See original

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

Le soleil s'est couché sur la terre ; 
les buissons ne remuent pas ;
Les feuilles fanées des lys se retournent
Et le lac tranquillement est parti se reposer.

Sous le charme de la beauté magique,
Je reste, pensif : « Qu'est-ce qui te rend triste aujourd'hui,
Quand tout autour de toi est si triste ? »

Le matin je reviens : brillant de rosée,
Le lys se réveille, superbe et magnifique,
Et joliment, dans sa parure brillante,

Souriant il salue le ciel,
Et des vagues joyeuses éclaboussent dans le lac...
Et moi ? Je suis triste, comme avant !
