by Évariste Desiré de Forges, vicomte de Parny (1753 - 1814)
Translation by Denis Vasilyevich Davydov (1784 - 1839)
Je suis assis sur le bord du torrent
Language: French (Français)
Je suis assis sur le bord du torrent. Autour de moi tout dort, et seul je veille ; Je veille, en proie au soupçon dévorant ; Les vents du nord sifflent à mon oreille, Et mon épée effleure le torrent. Je suis assis sur le bord du torrent. Fuis, jeune Isnel, ou retarde l'aurore. Ton glaive heureux, redoutable un moment, Vainquit Ornof ; mais Éric vit encore, Et son épée effleure le torrent. Je suis assis sur le bord du torrent. Sera-t-il plaint de ma coupable épouse ? Est-il aimé ce rival insolent ? Tremble, Asléga, ma fureur est jalouse, Et mon épée effleure le torrent.

Sizhu na beregu potoka
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Sizhu na beregu potoka,
Bor dremlet v sumrake; vse spit vokrug, a ya
Sizhu na beregu - i my'sliyu dalyoko,
Tam, tam... gde zhizn` moya!..
I mech v ruke moej mutit strui potoka.
Sizhu na beregu potoka,
Snedaem revnost`yu, zadumchiv, molchaliv...
Ne torzhestvuj eshhe, o ty', lyubimecz roka!
Ty' schastliv - no ya zhiv...
I mech v ruke moej mutit strui potoka.
Sizhu na beregu potoka...
Vzdoxnesh` li ty' o nyom, o drug, neverny'j drug...
I tochno l` on lyubim?- ax, e`ta my'sl` zhestoka!..
Kipit otmshhen`em dux,
I mech v ruke moej mutit strui potoka.
