Мой гений, мой ангел, мой друг

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Не здесь ли ты лёгкою тенью,
Мой гений, мой ангел, мой друг,
Беседуешь тихо со мною
И тихо летаешь вокруг?

И робким даришь вдохновеньем,
И сладкий крачуешь недуг,
И тихим даришь сновиденьем,
Мой гений, мой ангел, мой друг!

Mon génie, mon ange, mon amie

Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)

N'es-tu pas ici une ombre légère,
Mon génie, mon ange, mon amie
Que tu parles doucement avec moi,
Et que tu voles tranquillement autour de moi ?

Tu me donnes une timide inspiration,
Et tu guéris mes doux maux,
Et tu me donnes un doux rêve,
Mon génie, mon ange, mon amie !
