Я ждал тебя... Часы ползли уныло
Language: Russian (Русский)
Я ждал тебя... Часы ползли уныло, Как старые докучные враги... Всю ночь меня будил твой голос милый И чьи-то слышались шаги. Я ждал тебя... Прозрачен, свеж и светел, Осенний день повеял над землей... В немой тоске я день прекрасный встретил Одною жгучею слезой. Пойми хоть раз, что в этой жизни шумной, Чтоб быть с тобой, я каждый миг ловлю, Что я люблю, люблю тебя безумно, Как жизнь, как счастие, люблю!

Je t'attendais
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Je t'attendais, les heures passaient si tristes, Semblaient plus longues même que les années Toute la nuits je croyais voir ton ombre Et j'entendais vibrer la voix. [... ... ... ...] Comprends enfin que dans cette vie si triste Mon seul bonheur c'est d'être avec toi, Que je t'adore et t'aime à la folie, Autant non plus que le bonheur.
