Побудь со мной

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Не уходи, побудь со мною,
Здесь так отрадно, так светло.
Я поцелуями покрою
Уста, и очи, и чело.
  Побудь со мной,
  Побудь со мной!

Не уходи, побудь со мною,
Я так давно тебя люблю.
Тебя я лаской огневою
И обожгу и утомлю.
  Побудь со мной,
  Побудь со мной!

Не уходи, побудь со мною,
Пылает страсть в моей груди.
Восторг любви нас ждёт с тобою,
Не уходи, не уходи.
  Побудь со мной,
  Побудь со мной!

Stay with me

Language: English after the Russian (Русский)

Don’t go, stay with me, 
it is so pleasant and bright here! 
I’ll cover with kisses 
your lips and eyes and forehead! 
  Stay with me!
  Stay with me!

Don’t go, stay with me, 
I’ve been in love with you for such a long time… 
I’ll burn you and exhaust you 
with fiery caresses. 
  Don’t go! Stay!
  Don't go! Stay!

Don’t go! Stay with me! 
The passion burns in my chest,
The ecstasy of love awaits us! 
Don’t go! Don’t go!
  Stay with me.
  Stay with me.
