O legt mich nicht ins dunkle Grab
Language: German (Deutsch)
O legt mich nicht ins [dunkle]1 Grab, Nicht unter die grüne [Erd']2 hinab! Soll ich begraben sein, [Lieg' ich]3 in's tiefe Gras hinein. In Gras und Blumen [lieg']4 ich [gern]5, Wenn eine Flöte tönt von fern Und wenn hoch obenhin Die hellen Frühlingswolken ziehn.

O, ne kladite menja
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
O, ne kladite menja v zemlju syruju: Skrojte, zarojte menja v travu gustuju!... Puskaj dychan'e veterka ševelit travoju -- Svirel' poët izdaleka, Svetlo i ticho oblaka plyvut nado mnoju...
