Our translations: ENG
Fontan ljubvi, fontan živoj! Prinës ja v dar tebe dve rozy. Ljublju nemolčnyj govor tvoj I poėtičeskie slëzy. Tvoja serebrjanaja pyl' Menja kropit rosoju chladnoj: Ach, lejsja, lejsja, ključ otradnyj! Žurči, žurči svoju mne byl'... Fontan ljubvi, fontan pečal'nyj! I ja tvoj mramor voprošal; Chvalu strane pročel ja dal'noj; No o Marii ty molčal... Svetilo blednoe garema! I zdes' užel' zabvenno ty? Ili Marija i Zarema Odin sčastlivye mečty? Il' tol'ko son voobražen'ja V pustynnoj mgle narisoval Svoi minutnye viden'ja, Duši nejasnyj ideal?
