Комнатка тесная, тихая, милая, Тень непроглядная, тень безответная, Дума глубокая, песня унылая, В бьющемся сердце надежда заветная Быстрый полёт за мгновеньем мгновения, Взор неподвижный на счастье далёкое, Много сомнения, много терпения, Вот она, ночь моя, ночь одинокая.

Une petite chambre, calme, agréable, Une obscurité impénétrable, une obscurité sans réponse, Une pensée profonde, un chant triste, Dans un cœur qui bat un espoir précieux. Un vol rapide de moment en moment, Un regard fixé sur un bonheur lointain, Beaucoup de doutes, beaucoup de patience, Ainsi est ma nuit, ma nuit de solitude.
