Puisque j'ai mis ma lèvre à ta coupe...
Language: French (Français)
Puisque j'ai mis ma lèvre à ta coupe encore pleine; Puisque j'ai [dans tes mains]1 posé mon front pâli; Puisque j'ai respiré parfois la douce haleine De ton âme, parfum dans l'ombre enseveli; Puisqu'il me fut donné de t'entendre me dire Les mots où se répand le coeur mystérieux; Puisque j'ai vu pleurer, puisque j'ai vu sourire Ta bouche sur ma bouche et tes yeux sur mes yeux; Puis-que j'ai vu briller sur ma tètê ravie Un rayon de ton àstre, hélas! voilé toujours; Puis-que j'ai vu tomber dans l'onde de ma vie Une feuille de rose arrachée à tes jours; Je puis maintenant dire aux rapides années: - Passez! passez toujours! je n'ai plus à vieillir! Allez-vous-en avec vos fleurs toutes fanées; J'ai dans l'âme une fleur que nul ne peut cueillir! Votre aile en le heurtant ne fera rien répandre Du vase où je m'abreuve et que j'ai bien rempli. Mon âme a plus de feu que vous n'avez de cendre! Mon coeur a plus d'amour que vous n'avez d'oubli!
R. Hahn sets stanzas 1-2, 4-5
J. Vimeux sets stanzas 1, 4, 3, 4, 5, 4

S tech por, kak ja prižalsja gubami k tvoej...
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
S tech por, kak ja prižalsja gubami k tvoej polnoj čaše; S tech por, kak prižal k tvoim rukam svoj blednyj lob; S tech por, kak ja vdochnul odnaždy nežnyj aromat Tvoej duši, aromat, sprjatannyj v tenjach; S tech por, kak mne bylo dano uslyšat', kak ty mne govoriš' Slova, v koich vyskazyvaetsja zagadočnoe serdce; S tech por, kak ja videl plačuščimi i ulybajuščimisja Tvoi guby u moich gub i tvoi glaza pered moimi; S tech por, kak ja uvidel sijajuščim na moem vzvolnovannom lice Svet tvoej zvezdy, uvy! zatumanennyj naveki; S tech por, kak ja uvidel pochoronennym v volnach moej žizni Oborvannyj lepestok rozy tvoich dnej; JA mogu teper' skazat' toroplivym godam: - Prochodite! Prochodite vsegda! Mne bol'še ne postaret'; Uchodite so svoimi uvjadšimi cvetami; U menja v duše cvetok, kotoryj nikto ne smožet zabrat'! Vaši kryl'ja, udarjaja, ničego ne smogut raspleskat' Iz vazy, otkuda ja p'ju i kotoruju napolnjaju vnov'. V moej duše bol'še ognja, čem v vas pepla; V moem serdce bol'še ljubvi, čem v vas zabvenija!
