Our translations: ENG FRE

Veter perelëtnyj oblaskal menja
I šepnul pečal'no: «Noč' sil'nee dnja».
I zakat pomerknul. Tuči počerneli.
Drognuli, smutilis' pasmurnye eli.

I nad tëmnym morem, gde krutilsja val,
Veter perelëtnyj zyb'ju probežal.
Noč' carila v mire. A mež tem dalëko,
Zá morem zažglosja ognennoe oko.

Novyj raspustilsja v nebesach cvetok,
Svetom vozroždënnym zablistal Vostok.
Veter izmenilsja, i pachnul mne v oči,
I šepnul s usmeškoj: «Den' sil'nee noči».
