Our translations: ENG FRE

Drobitsja, i pleshchet i bryzzhet volna
mne v ochi solenoju vlagoj;
nedvizhno na kamne sizhu ja, polna
dusha bezotchetnoj otvagoj.

Valy za valami, priboj i otboj,
i pena ikh grebni pokryla.
O, more, kogo zhe mne vyzvat' na boj,
izvedat' voskresshije sily?

Pochujalo serdce, chto zhizn' khorosha,
vy, volny, razmykali gore,
ot groma i pleska prosnulas' dusha -
srodni jej shumjashcheje more!
