by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Mikhail Larionovich Mikhailov (1829 - 1865)

Mir träumte einst von wildem Liebesglühn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Mir träumte einst von wildem Liebesglühn,
Von [hübschen]1 Locken, Myrten und Resede,
Von süßen Lippen und von bittrer Rede,
Von düstrer Lieder düstern Melodien.

Verblichen und verweht sind längst die Träume,
Verweht ist gar mein liebstes Traumgebild!
Geblieben ist mir nur, was glutenwild
Ich einst gegossen hab' in weiche [Reime]2.

Du bliebst, verwaistes Lied! Verweh jetzt auch,
Und such das Traumbild, das mir längst entschwunden,
Und grüß es mir, wenn du es aufgefunden --
Dem luft'gen Schatten send' ich luft'gen Hauch.

К моей песне
 (Sung text for setting by N. Rimsky-Korsakov)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Мне снились страстные восторги и страданья,
И мирт и резеда в кудрях прекрасной девы,
И речи горькие, и сладкие лобзанья,
И песен сумрачных унылые напевы.

Давно поблескнули и разлетелись грёзы,
Исчезло даже ты, любимое виденье!
Осталась песня мне: той песне на храненье
Вверял я некогда и радости и слёзы.

Осиротелая! умчись и ты скорее!
Лети, о песнь моя, вослед моих видений!
Найди мой лучший сон, по свету птицей рея,
И мой воздушный вздох отдай воздушной тени!
