Горные вершины Спят во тьме ночной. Тихие долины Полны свежей мглой. Не пылит дорога, Не дрожат листы. Подожди немного, Отдохнёшь и ты.

Les cimes des mon-ta-gnes Dorment dans la nuit sombre. Les prés, les cam-pa-gnes Sont plon-gés dans l'ombre. Nul ne foule le che-min, Nul bruit a-len-tour. At-tends un peu, de-main Ce se-ra ton tour.
