by Aleksandr Yakovlevich Rimsky-Korsak(ov) (1806 - 1856)
Translation by Sergei Grigorevich Golitsyn (1803 - 1868)
Я люблю, ты мне твердила
Language: Russian (Русский)
Я люблю, ты мне твердила, и тебе поверил я. Но другого ты любила, мне так страстно говоря: - Я люблю, я люблю, - мне так страстно говоря. Ты зачем таким признаньем взволновала грудь мою! С тяжким слышал я терзаньем: - Друг! Я милого люблю, я люблю, я люблю, друг! я милого люблю! - Ах! Кого полюбишь страстно, горько той лишь другом быть. Об одном молю, несчастный, перестань мне говорить: - Я люблю, я люблю, друг! я милого люблю! -

Le baiser
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Te souviens-tu, mon amie, quand je pouvais tout oser, sur ta bouche si jolie je cueillis tant doux baiser, sur ta bouche si jolie je cueillis tant doux baiser! Tu fis d'abbord la méchante, tu voulus mne refuser, mais à ma voix suppliante tu m'accordas ce baiser, mais à ma voix suppliante tu m'accordas ce baiser! Depuis ce moment terrible le feu semble m'embrasser. Grand Dieu! Quel tourment horrible, qu'un baiser, qu'un seul baiser! Grand Dieu! Quel tourment horrible, qu'un baiser, qu'un seul baiser!
