Ночь идёт ‑ и темнеет
Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Ночь идёт - и темнеет
Бледно-синий восток...
От одежд её веет
По полям ветерок.
День был долог и зноен...
Ночь идёт и поёт
колыбельную песню
И к покою зовёт.
Грустен взор её тёмный,
Одинок её путь...
Спи-усни, моё сердце!
Отдохни... Позабудь.

Night approaches and it grows dark
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
Night approaches and it grows dark;
it is only pale blue in the East.
In dark garb, the spring breeze
blows lightly through the fields.
Day was oppressive and hot. . . .
Night comes and sings
a lullabye;
To [the River] Rokju it calls.
It is sad; look, it is dark,
It is lonely…
Sleep now, my heart.
Rest… and forget.
