Our translations: ENG FRE

Akh, zachem tvoi glazki poroju
Na menja tak surovo gljadjat
I tomit moju dushu toskoju
Tvoj kholodnyj, nelaskovyj vzgljad,

Tvoj kholodnyj, nelaskovyj vzgljad?

Bez ulybki i v gordom molchan'i
Ty prokhodish' kak ten' predo mnoju,
I, v dushe zataivshi stradan'e,
Ja revnivo slezhu za toboju,

Revnivo slezhu za toboju.

Ty ljubov'ju svojej ozarjala,
Kak vesnoj, moi grustnye dni.
Prilaskaj zhe menja, kak byvalo,
Laskoj proch' moju grust' otgoni.

Prilaskaj zhe menja, kak byvalo,
Laskoj proch' moju grust' otgoni.
Zachem zhe tvoi glazki poroju
Na menja tak surovo, tak surovo gljadjat.
