Полюбила я,
На печаль свою,
Сиротинушку 
Бесталанного.
Уж такая доля мне выпала!
Разлучили нас
Люди сильные;
Увезли его,
Сдали в рекруты...
И солдаткой я, 
Одинокой я,
Знать, в чужой избе
И состареюсь...
Уж такая доля мне выпала.

Je suis tombé amoureux pour mon chagrin

(Sung text translation for setting by S. Rachmaninov)

See original

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

Je suis tombé amoureux,
Pour mon chagrin,
D'une orphelin
Malheureux.
Tel est le sort
Qui m'échoit !
Nous avons été séparés
Par des gens puissants :
Emmenez-le,
Faites-en une recrue...
Et une femme de soldat,
Une âme seule,
Peut-être, dans la maison d'un étranger
Je vieillirai.
Tel est le sort
Qui m'échoit !
