by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Translation by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Когда, что звали мы своим
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Когда, что звали мы своим,
Навек от нас ушло
И, как под камнем гробовым,
Нам станет тяжело, -

Пойдём и взглянем вдоль реки,
Туда, по склону вод,
Куда стремглав бегут струи,
Куда поток несёт -

Неодолим, неудержим,
И не вернётся вспять...
И чём мы долее глядим,
Тем легче нам дышать...

И слёзы льются из очей,
И видим мы сквозь слёз,
Как всё быстрее и быстрей
Волненье понеслось...

Душа впадает в забытьё -
И чувствует она,
Что вот помчала и её
Великая волна.
