by Daniil Maximovich Rathaus (1868 - 1937)
Translation Singable translation by Bruno Tutenberg (1887 - 1968)

Средь мрачных дней
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE POL
Средь мрачных дней, под гнетом бед,
из мглы туманной прошлых лет,
как отблеск радостных лучей,
мне светит взор твоих очей.

Под обаяньем светлых снов
мне мнится, я с тобою вновь.
При свете дня, в ночной тиши
делюсь восторгами души.

Я вновь с тобой! - моя печаль
умчалась в пасмурную даль...
И страстно вновь хочу я жить -
тобой дышать, тебя любить!

In trüber Stund' wenn Unglück dräut
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
In trüber Stund' wenn Unglück dräut
Erglänzt aus nebelhafter Fern',
Gleich einem holden Strahlenstern
Dein treues Auge mir noch heut'.

Es kommt mir oft ein schöner Traum
Als trenne uns nicht Zeit noch Raum,
Bei Tag und Nacht bist du bei mir,
Ich teile Freud und Glück mit dir.

Vor dir entweicht mein Unglücksstern
Zurück in nebelgraue Fern'...
Von neuem fühl ich Lebenslust
Und Lieb' zu dir in meiner Brust.
