Ночью в саду у меня
Плачет плакучая ива,
И безутешна она 
Ивушка, грустная ива.

Раннее утро блеснёт,
Нежная девушка-зорька
Ивушке, плачущей горько,
Слёзы кудрями [отрёт]¹.

Nächtens im Garten bei mir

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)

Chosen for Diff

Nächtens im Garten bei mir
weint eine traurige Weide,
und nichts dient zum Troste ihr,
Ivushka, traurige Weide.

Strahlend der Morgen erwacht:
Aurora, zärtliches Mädchen,
trocknet die bitteren Tränen
mit ihrem Lockenhaar sacht.

Translator's note: Ivushka heißt Weidenbäumchen.
