Красавица рыбачка, оставь челнок на песке; посиди со мной, поболтаем, рука в моей руке. Прижмись головкой к сердцу, не бойся ласки моей; ведь каждый день ты с морем играешь судьбой своей. И сердце моё, как море, - там бури, прилив и отлив, в его глубинах много жемчужных дремлет див.

You beautiful fishermaiden, Pull your boat toward shore; Come to me and sit down, We will speak of love, hand in hand. Lay your little head on my heart, And do not be too frightened; Indeed, you trust yourself fearlessly Daily to the wild sea! My heart is just like the sea, Having storms and ebb and flow, And many beautiful pearls Rest in its depths.
