[Как]¹ хорошо... Взгляни, вдали
Огнём горит река;
Цветным ковром луга легли,
Белеют облака.
Здесь нет людей... Здесь тишина.
Здесь только Бог да я.
Цветы, да старая сосна,
Да ты, мечта моя...

Hier ist es schön

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)

Hier ist es schön … Schau wie weither
der Fluss wie Feuer flammt;
wie bunte Matten liegt die Flur, 
und das Gewölk ist weiß.
Kein Mensch ist hier … hier ist die Ruh’ …
hier sind nur Gott und ich,
die alte Zirbel, reich umblüht,
und du, mein süßer Traum!
