by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Mikhail Larionovich Mikhailov (1829 - 1865)
Das Meer erglänzte weit hinaus
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Meer erglänzte weit hinaus, Im letzten Abendscheine; Wir saßen am einsamen Fischerhaus, Wir saßen stumm und alleine. Der Nebel stieg, das Wasser schwoll, Die Möve flog hin und wieder; Aus deinen Augen, liebevoll, Fielen die Thränen nieder. Ich sah sie fallen auf deine Hand, Und bin auf's Knie gesunken; Ich hab' von deiner weißen Hand Die Thränen fortgetrunken. Seit jener Stunde verzehrt sich mein Leib, Die Seele stirbt vor Sehnen; - Mich hat das unglückseel'ge Weib Vergiftet mit ihren Thränen.

Безбрежное море кругом
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Безбрежное море кругом Лежало в вечернем мерцанье. Вдвоём на утёсе крутом Сидели мы в грусном молчанье. В туман облекались струи́, И чайка над нами порхала. Ты бледные руки свои Слезами любви орошала. Безмолвно колени склоня, К рукам твоим тихо устами Припал я, и с них ты меня Поила своими слезами. С того безотрадного дня Я высох и сердце изныло… Слезами своими меня, Несчастная, ты отравила!
