Rozmowa
Language: Polish (Polski)
Kochanko moja! na co nam rozmowa? Czemu, chcąc z tobą uczucia podzielać, Nie mogę duszy prosto w duszę przelać? Za co ją trzeba rozdrabiać na słowa, Które nim słuch twój i serce dościgną, W ustach wietrzeją, na powietrzu stygną? Kocham, ach! kocham, po sto razy wołam: A ty się smucisz i zaczynasz gniewać, Że ja kochania mojego nie zdołam Dosyć wymówić, wyrazić, wyśpiewać; I jak w letargu, nie widzę sposobu Wydać znak życia, bym uniknął grobu. Strudziłem usta daremnem użyciem: Teraz je z twemi chcę stopić ustami, I chcę rozmawiać tylko serca biciem, I westchnieniami i całowaniami, I tak rozmawiać, godziny, dni, lata, Do końca świata i po końcu świata.

O milaya deva, net sil mne slovami
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Polish (Polski)
O milaya deva, net sil mne slovami muchen`ya lyubvi peredat` bez smushhen`ya. Zachem ne mogu ya dushi moej py'lkoj izlit` v tvoyu dushu bezmolvno i strastno! Slova tak bessil`ny', slova tak nichtozhny'; edva otzovutsya, v ustax zamirayut! Lyublyu tebya strastno! - sto raz povtoryayu, a ty' uzh grustna i serdit`sya gotova za to, chto vostorgov lyubvi ya ne v silax tebe peredat` ni slovami, ni v zvukax! I budto son smerti glaza mne smy'kaet, i k zhizni ya rvus` iz temnicy' mogil`noj. Usta utomilis` naprasnoyu rech`yu, no strasto i nezhno lyubuyus` toboyu, ne molvya ni slova; ya s trepetom serdcza predamsya vostorgam i py'lkim mechtan`yam. i pust` tak proxodya dni, mesyacy', gody', poka ne sojdu ya v mogilu naveki.
