by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Translation by Jean-Marie Chopin (1796 - 1870)
Дарует небо человеку
Language: Russian (Русский)
Дарует небо человеку Заменю слёз и частых бед: Блажен факир, у зревший Меку На старости печальных лет. Блажен, кто славный брег Дуная Своею смертью освятит: [К нему]1 навстречу дева рая С улыбкой [страстной]2 полетит. Но тот блаженней о Зарема, Кто, мир и негу возлюбя, Как розу, в тишине гарема Лелеет, милая, тебя.

Gloire au très‑haut il accable et console
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Gloire au très-haut il accable et console, Heureux celui qui sur ses derniers jours, Avant l'instant où son âme s'envole Des murs sacrés a salué les tours. Heureux celui qui tombe sur ses armes Aux bords fameux où le Don bat ses flots. La vierge, avec un souris plein de charmes, Lui tend les bras du séjour des héros. Mais, Zaréma, bien plus heureux encore Celui qui vient recueillir tes soupirs; Et, mollement sur le sein qu'il adore Vide et remplit la coupe des plaisirs.
