Как светла, как нарядна весна! Погляди мне в глаза, как бывало, И скажи: отчего ты грустна? Отчего ты так ласкова стала? Но молчишь, ты, слаба, как цветок... О молчи! Мне не надо признанья: Я узнал эту ласку прощанья, -- Я опять одинок!

Comme il est brillant, comme il est élégant, le printemps ! Regarde-moi dans les yeux, comme tu le fais Et dis-moi : pourquoi es-tu si triste, Pourquoi es-tu devenu si affectueux ? Mais tu es silencieux, aussi faible qu'une fleur... Oh, tais-toi ! je ne désire pas de confession... J'ai reconnu l'affection de la séparation... Je suis seul à nouveau !
