Our translations: GER
Do not go, my love, without asking my leave. I have watched all night, and now my eyes are heavy with sleep; I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping. Do not go, my love, without asking my leave. I start up and stretch my hands to touch you. I ask myself, "Is it a dream?" Could I but entangle your feet with my heart, And hold them fast to my breast! Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.

Ne uxodi, ne prostivshis` so mnoi, moj...
Language: Russian (Русский) after the English
Ne uxodi, ne prostivshis` so mnoi, moj mily'j! Mne ne spalos`, i teper`, dorogoj moj, Sna prevozmoch` ne imeyu ya sily'. Esli usnu, ya tebya poteryayu! Ne uxodi, ne prostivshis` so mnoj. Vzdrognuv, tebya ya kasayus` v trevoge. Esli b, svyazav tvoi ruki, YA serdcem svoim krepko derzhat` u grudi ix mogla by'! Ne uxodi... YA shepchu, zasy'paya: «Ne uxodi... ne uxodi... ne uxodi... ne uxodi!»
