Уж гасли в комнатах огни

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Уж гасли в комнатах огни...
Благоухали розы...
Мы сели на скамью в тени
развесистой берёзы.

Мы были молоды с тобой!
Так счастливы мы были
нас окружавшею весной,
так горячо любили!

Двурогий месяц наводил
на нас своё сиянье;
я ничего не говорил,
боясь прервать молчанье...

Безмолвно синих глаз твоих
ты опускала взоры -
красноречивей слов иных
немые разговоры.

Чего не смел поверить я,
что в сердце ты таила, -
всё это песня соловья
за нас договорила.

Les lumières dans la pièce sont déjà éteintes

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

Les lumières dans la pièce sont déjà éteintes...
Les roses étaient parfumées...
Nous étions assis sur un banc à l'ombre
Près d'un bouleau.

Nous étions jeunes !
Comme nous étions heureux
Entourés par le printemps,
Comme nous nous aimions !

Le croissant de la lune lance
Sur nous son éclat ;
Je ne dis rien,
De peur de rompre le silence.

Tes yeux bleus silencieusement
Regardent par terre :
Des mots éloquents
Forment une conversation muette.

Ce que je n'ai pas osé te dire,
Ce que tu cachais dans ton cœur,
Dans le chant du rossignol tout était
Contenu pour nous.
