Небосклон ослепительно синий

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG

Небосклон ослепительно-синий, 
Моря нежно-лазурная даль; 
Всюду группы изящные пиний, 
Белорозовый всюду миндаль. 
Отдыхает Везувий усталый, 
И легко к облакам золотым 
Поднимается палевый, алый 
Прихотливою тучкою дым. 
Мы с тобой ласки трепетной полны, 
Милый взгляд твой любовью горит... 
Ослепительны синие волны, 
Жемчугом на них пена блестит. 
Слышу в волнах я дивные звуки, 
Говорят мне о счастье они... 

Милый друг мой! В годину разлуки 
Этот день, этот миг вспомяни!

The sky, brilliantly azure

Language: English after the Russian (Русский)

The sky, brilliantly azure,
The sea, tenderly blue;
Groups of graceful pines everywhere,
And white-pink almond trees.
Weary Vesuvius rests in peace,
And lightly to the golden clouds
Rises smoke, pale and scarlet,
Shaped like a whimsical little cloud.
We are full of trembling tenderness,
Your dear gaze burns with love’s fire...
The blue waves shine bright,
Their foam glistens like pearls in the light.
I hear in the waves delightful sounds,
They speak to me of happiness...

My dear friend! In the hour of parting,
Remember this day, this moment!
