Our translations: ENG
Дитя моё, Останься здесь со мной: В воде привольное житьё И холод, и покой. Я созову [моих]1 сестёр, Мы пляской круговой Развеселим [туманный]2 взор И дух усталый твой! Усни, постель твоя мягка, Прозрачен твой покров. [Пройдут года, пройдут века]3 Под говор чудных снов. О милый мой! не утаю, Что я тебя люблю, Люблю как вольную струю, Люблю как жизнь мою...

Viens, bel enfant
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Viens, bel enfant Que j'aime, auprès de moi : Dans l'onde tu vivras heureux Et calme, bien au frais. J'appellerai mes glauques sœurs : Nous danserons sans bruit, Pour égayer ton front troublé, Ton cœur endolori. Ah, dors ! la couche est molle, un voi- le fin te couvrira Tu rêveras, très doucement, Les siècles s'enfuiront. Ô, tendre ami, je sens mon cœur d'amour pour toi rempli ; Je t'aime autant que l'onde fraîche, Autant que mon âme elle-même.
