Я тебе ничего не скажу [и]1 тебя не встревожу ничуть, и о том, что я молча твержу, не решусь ни за что намекнуть. Целый день спят ночные цветы, но, лишь солнце за [рощи]2 зайдёт, [раскрываются тихо листы,]3 и я слышу, как сердце цветёт... И в больную, усталую грудь веет влагой ночной... Я дрожу... Я тебя не встревожу ничуть, я тебе ничего не скажу!

Je ne te dirai rien Et je ne te troublerai pas du tout, Et ce que je ne cesse de répéter en silence, Je n'oserai pas y faire allusion. Les fleurs de la nuit dorment tout le jour, Mais, dès que le soleil se couche derrière les nuages, Elles déploient doucement leurs pétales, Et j'écoute comme leur cœur bat... Et ma poitrine malade et fatiguée, Respire l'humidité de la nuit... Je frissonne... Je ne troublerai pas du tout, Je ne te dirai rien !
