O sing, du schöne, sing mir nicht Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский)
O sing, du Schöne, sing mir nicht Georgiens wehmutvolle Lieder, Sie wecken wie ein Traumgesicht Mir fernes Land und Leben wieder. Auf mich herein in wilder Pein Aus deinen Liedern klingend bricht es; Die Steppennacht, der Mondenschein, Der Schmerz des kindlichen Gesichtes - Die holde Traumgestalt, bei dir Vergess' ich sie, und ach! wie gerne -- Doch wenn du singst, erscheint sie mir Und ruft mich grausam in die Ferne. O sing, du Schöne, sing mir nicht Georgiens wehmutvolle Lieder, Sie wecken wie ein Traumgesicht Mir fernes Land und Leben wieder.
