Ожидание | Она придёт! к её устам

by Évariste Desiré de Forges, vicomte de Parny (1753 - 1814)

Translation by Evgeny Abramovich Baratynsky (1800 - 1844)

Réflexion amoureuse

Language: French (Français)

Je vais la voir, la presser dans mes bras,
Mon cœur ému palpite avec vitesse ;
Des voluptés je sens déjà l'ivresse ;
Et le désir précipite mes pas.
Sachons pourtant près de celle que j'aime,
Donner un frein aux transports du désir ;
Sa folle ardeur abrège le plaisir,
Et trop d'amour peut nuire à l'amour même.

Ожидание

Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)

Она придёт! к её устам
Прижмусь устами я моими;
Приют укромный будет нам
Под сими вязами густыми!
Волненьем страстным я томим;
Но близ любезной укротим
Желаний пылких нетерпенье:
Мы ими счастию вредим
И сокращаем наслажденье.
