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!

Слёзы
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
Если покой дадите за все треволненья И смоете теперь дней минувших тоску, Если ранам всем моим несёте облегченье, Лейтесь, слёзы, я вас молю! Но, если и теперь вы смерть с собой несёте, Если вы разжигать пламя сердца должны, Не мучьте же меня, зачем всю грудь мне рвёте? О, слёзы, скройтесь вы, скройтесь вы! Да, скройтесь вы! Моя тоска ещё ужасней: Пробудили вы вновь горе прошлых годов! О сжальтесь, о, сжальтесь ещё! И дайте смерть моей душе несчастной! Слёзы, застыньте вновь, застыньте вновь!
