by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)
Translation Singable translation by Abram Markovich Efros (1888 - 1954)

Com'arò dunche ardire
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE LIT
Com'arò dunche ardire
Senza vo' ma', mio ben, tenermi 'n vita,
S'io non posso al partir chiedervi aita?
Que' singulti, e que' pianti, e que' sospiri
Che 'l miser core voi accompagnorno,
Madonna, duramente dimostrorno
La mia propinqua morte e' miei martiri.
Ma se ver è che per assenzia mai
Mia fedel servitù vadia in oblio,
Il cor lasso con voi, che non è mio.

Derznu l`, sokrovishhe moyo
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Derznu l`, sokrovishhe moyo,
Sushhestvovat` bez vas, sebe na muku,
Raz gluxi vy' k mol`bam smyagchit` razluku?
Uny'ly'm serdcem bol`she ne tayu
Ni vozglasov, ni vzdoxov, ni ry'danij,
Chtob vam yavit`, madonna, gnyot stradanij
I smert` uzh nedalyokuyu moyu;
No daby' rok potom moyo sluzhen`e
Izgnat` iz vashej pamyati ne mog, –
YA ostavlyayu serdce vam v zalog.
