Our translations: ENG FRE

Veter perelyotny'j oblaskal menya
I shepnul pechal`no: «Noch` sil`nee dnya».
I zakat pomerknul. Tuchi pocherneli.
Drognuli, smutilis` pasmurny'e eli.

I nad tyomny'm morem, gde krutilsya val,
Veter perelyotny'j zy'b`yu probezhal.
Noch` czarila v mire. A mezh tem dalyoko,
Zá morem zazhglosya ognennoe oko.

Novy'j raspustilsya v nebesax czvetok,
Svetom vozrozhdyonny'm zablistal Vostok.
Veter izmenilsya, i paxnul mne v ochi,
I shepnul s usmeshkoj: «Den` sil`nee nochi».
