Les larmes
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: CAT
Si vous donnez le calme après tant de secousses, Si vous courez d'oubli tant de maux dérobés, Si vous lavez ma plaie et si vous êtes douces, O mes larmes, tombez! tombez! Mais, si comme autrefois vous êtes meurtrières, Si vous rongez un coeur qui déjà brûle en soi, N'ajoutez pas au mal, respectez mes paupières: O larmes, laissez moi, laissez moi! Oui, laissez moi! je sens ma peine plus cuisante, Vous avez evoqué tous mes rêves perdus: Pitié! pitié! pitié! laisez mourir mon âme agonisante! Larmes, ne tombez pas! ne tombez pas!

Slëzy
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Esli pokoj dadite za vse trevolnen'ja I smoete teper' dnej minuvšich tosku, Esli ranam vsem moim nesëte oblegčen'e, Lejtes', slëzy, ja vas molju! No, esli i teper' vy smert' s soboj nesëte, Esli vy razžigat' plamja serdca dolžny, Ne muč'te že menja, začem vsju grud' mne rvëte? O, slëzy, skrojtes' vy, skrojtes' vy! Da, skrojtes' vy! Moja toska eščë užasnej: Probudili vy vnov' gore prošlych godov! O sžal'tes', o, sžal'tes' eščë! I dajte smert' moej duše nesčastnoj! Slëzy, zastyn'te vnov', zastyn'te vnov'!
