by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)
Es leuchtet meine Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es leuchtet meine Liebe, In ihrer dunkeln Pracht, Wie'n Märchen traurig und trübe, Erzählt in der Sommernacht. "Im Zaubergarten wallen Zwei Buhlen, stumm und allein; Es singen die Nachtigallen, Es flimmert der Mondenschein. "Die Jungfrau steht still wie ein Bildnis, Der Ritter vor ihr kniet. Da kommt der Riese der Wildnis, Die bange Jungfrau flieht. "Der Ritter sinkt blutend zur Erde, Es stolpert der Riese nach Haus -" Wenn ich begraben werde, Dann ist das Märchen aus.

Ljubov' moja — strashnaja skazka
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Ljubov' moja — strashnaja skazka, So vsem, chto jest' dikogo v nej, S tainstvennym bleskom i bredom, Sozdanije zharkikh nochej. Vot — «rycar' i deva guljali V volshebnom sadu mezh cvetov… Krugom solov'i grokhotali, I mesjac svetil skvoz' derev… Nema byla deva, kak mramor… K nogam jejo rycar' prinik… I vdrug velikan k nim podkhodit, Ischezla krasavica vmig… Upal okrovavlennyj rycar'… Ischez velikan…» a potom… Potom… Vot kogda pokhoronjat Menja — to i skazka s koncom!..
