Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang', Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen; Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz, Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen! Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst Der Strom von unsern Tränen, Und wenn [dich mein Arm]1 gewaltig umschließt - Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!

Своей щекой прильни к моей —
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Своей щекой прильни к моей — Пусть вместе наши слезы льются, И сердцемъ к сердцу жмись сильней — Пусть вместе пламенемъ зажгутся. Когда же потекут рекой В то пламя слезы разставанья, Я, охватив твой стан рукой, Умру от сладкого страданья.
