by Modest Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1850 - 1916)
Translation Singable translation by A. Bernhard

Дуэт Прилепы и Миловзора
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Прилепа. Chloe
Мой милкенкий дружок,
любезный пастушок,
о ком я воздыхаю 
и страсть открыть желаю,
ах, не пришёл плясать!

Миловзор. Daphnis (Полина)
(Входит)
Я здесь, но скучен, томен,
смотри как похудал!
Не буду больще скромен,
я долго страсть скрывал!

(Вместе)
|Прилепа
|  Мой милкенкий дружок,
|  любезный пастушок,
|  как без тебя скучаю,
|  как по тебе страдаю,
|  ах, не могу сказать!
|  Не знаю отчего!
|Миловзор    
|  Давно тебя любя,
|  соскочил без тебя,
|  а ты того не знаешь,
|  и здесь себя скрываешь 
|  от взора моего,
|  не знаю для чего!

Duett. Chloe und Daphnis
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Chloe 
Weh' mir! ich bin allein, 
Der holde Schäfer mein, 
Um den ich zärtlich klage, 
Den ich im Herzen trage, 
Ach, kam heut' nicht zum Tanz!

Daphnis (Pauline) 
(tritt auf) 
Ich bin's, des Herzens Öde 
Fühlt' ich, mir war so bang! 
Nicht bin ich ferner blöde, 
Ich liebe dich schon lang! 

(Zusammen)
|Chloe
| Laß nimmer mich allein, 
| Du holder Schäfer mein,
| Wie mir so angst und wehe, 
| Wenn ich dich nicht hier sehe,
| Ach, sagen kann ich's nicht! 
| Weiß selber nicht warum! 
|Daphnis
| Dir schlug schon längst mein Herz,
| Die Trennung schuf mir Schmerz;
| Du ahnst nicht meine Sorgen,
| Und_hältst_dich hier verborgen,
| Vor meinem Angesicht! 
| Weiß selber nicht warum!
