Дробится, и плещет и брызжет волна мне в очи соленою влагой; недвижно на камне сижу я, полна душа безотчетной отвагой. Валы за валами, прибой и отбой, и пена их гребни покрыла. О, море, кого же мне вызвать на бой, изведать воскресшие силы? Почуяло сердце, что жизнь хороша, вы, волны, размыкали горе, от грома и плеска проснулась луша - сродни ей шумящее море!

La vague se brise, éclabousse et arrose Mes yeux d'humidité salée ; Je suis assis immobile sur le rocher, l'âme Pleine d'un courage irraisonné. Vague après vague, montant et descendant, Les crêtes sont couvertes d'écume. Oh, mer, qui dois-je appeler pour lutter, Pour connaître la puissance de la résurrection ? Mon cœur sent que la vie est belle, Vous, les vagues, avez dissipé le chagrin, Mon âme s'est éveillée du tonnerre et des éclaboussures Semblables au rugissement de la mer !
