Падают, падают капли печальные, тяжко по крыше стучат. Ветер напевы поёт погребальные, ветви так грустно шумят. Падают, падают грёзы смущённые на душу мертвым дождём... Слёзы холодные, муки бессонные, сколько вас в сердце моём!

Fall, fall, sad raindrops, with a hard knocking on the roof. The wind sings a funeral song, the branches rustle so sadly. Fall, fall, confused dreams on my soul like a dead rain… Cold tears, sleepless agonies, so many of you weigh on my heart.
