Какое счастье: и ночь, и мы одни! Река как зеркало и вся блестит звездами, А там-то голову закинь-ка, да взгляни: Какая глубина и чистота над нами! О, называй меня безумным! Назови, чем хочешь: в этот миг я разумом слабею И в сердце чувствую такой прилив любви, Что не могу молчать, не стану, не умею! Я болен, я влюблён, Но, мучась и любя, О, слушай! о пойми! я страсти не скрываю, И я хочу сказать, что я люблю тебя, Тебя, одну тебя люблю я и желаю!

Quel bonheur : c'est la nuit et nous sommes seuls ! La rivière est comme un miroir et brille sous les étoiles, Lève la tête et regarde : Quelle profondeur, quelle clarté au-dessus de nous ! Oh, appelle-moi fou ! Appelle-moi comme tu veux : En ce moment ma raison s'affaiblit Et je sens un tel flot d'amour dans mon cœur Que je ne peux garder le silence, je ne veux pas, je ne peux pas ! Je suis malade, je suis amoureux, Mais tourmenté et aimant Oh, écoute ! oh, comprends ! je ne cache pas ma passion, Et je veux dire que je t'aime, Toi, seulement toi je t'aime et je te désire !
