Слеза дрожит в твоём ревнивом взоре, О, не грусти, ты всё мне дорога, Но я любить могу лишь на просторе, Мою любовь, широкую как море, Вместить не [могут жизни]1 берега. Когда Глагола творческая сила Толпы миров воззвала из ночи, Любовь их все, как солнце, озарила, И лишь на землю к нам её светила Нисходят порознь редкие лучи. И порознь их отыскивая жадно, Мы ловим отблеск вечной красоты; Нам вестью лес о ней шумит отрадной, О ней поток гремит струёю хладной И говорят, качаяся, цветы. И любим мы любовью раздробленной И тихий шёпот вербы над ручьём, И милой девы взор, на нас склоненный, И звёздный блеск, и все красы вселенной, И ничего мы вместе не сольём. Но не грусти, земное минет горе, Пожди ещё, неволя недолга -- В одну любовь мы все сольёмся вскоре, В одну любовь, широкую как море, Что не [вместят]3 земные берега.
P. Tchaikovsky sets stanzas 1, 5

I see a tear in your jealous sight... Oh, don't yearn; you're still dear to me! But I can love only in expanse, And my love, as wide as a sea, Cannot fit into the shores of life. [... ... ... ... ...] [... ... ... ... ...] [... ... ... ... ...] Oh, don't yearn, my darling; the troubles of life will end soon, Just wait a bit more... the bondage is not long. We all will interflow into one Love soon, Into Love, which is as wide as a sea, Which cannot fit into the shores of life.
