Расстались гордо мы, Ни словом, ни слезою Я грусти признака тебе не подала. Мы разошлись навек! Но если-бы с тобою я встретиться могла! [ Ах, если б я хоть встретиться могла!]1 Без слёз, без жалоб я Склонилась пред [судьбою]2. Не знаю, сделав мне так много в жизни зла, Любил ли ты меня? Но если-бы с тобою я встретиться могла! [ Ах, если б я хот встретиться могла!]1

Nous nous sommes quittés fièrement, Pas un mot ni une larme, Je n'ai laissé sortir aucun signe de tristesse. Nous nous sommes quittés pour toujours ! Mais si je pouvais te rencontrer à nouveau ! [Ah ! si je pouvais te rencontrer !] Sans larmes, sans plaintes, J'ai incliné ma tête devant mon sort, Je ne sais pas, tu m'as fait tant de mal dans ma vie, Si tu m'aimais ? Mais si je pouvais te rencontrer à nouveau ! [Ah ! si je pouvais te rencontrer !]
