by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Translation by A. Wolfahrt
Дарует небо человеку
Language: Russian (Русский)
Дарует небо человеку Заменю слёз и частых бед: Блажен факир, у зревший Меку На старости печальных лет. Блажен, кто славный брег Дуная Своею смертью освятит: [К нему]1 навстречу дева рая С улыбкой [страстной]2 полетит. Но тот блаженней о Зарема, Кто, мир и негу возлюбя, Как розу, в тишине гарема Лелеет, милая, тебя.

Tataren‑Lied Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Der Himmel spendet milde Gabe Dem Leidenden, der ihm vertraut; Beseligt ruht am Pilgerstabe Der müde Greis, der Mekka schaut. Beseligt, wer in heil'gen Fehden Sein strahlend Heldenblut vergießt, Wenn eine Huldin ihn aus Eden Am Abend seiner Kämpfe grüßt. Und hochbeseligt, wer hienieden, Von trüben Stürmen nie bewegt, Der Rose gleich, in Harems Frieden, Zarema, dich, voll Liebe hegt.
