Морская Царевна
Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: ENG
Приди ко мне ночной порой, о путник молодой! Здесь под водой и прохлада, и покой. Ты здесь отдохнёшь, ты сладко заснёшь, качаясь, на зыбких водах, где, неги полна, лишь дремлет волна в пустынных берегах. По зыби морской сама за тобой царевна морская плывёт! Она манит, она поёт, к себе тебя зовёт...

La Reine de la Mer
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Accours, voyageur, accours, c'est la nuit ton cœur est tout palpitant ; sous l'eau qui fuit mon royaume t'attend ! Viens te reposer sous mon frais baiser glissant sur les flots sans effort ; Bercé dans me bras tu me béniras, je t'aime ! Viend, tout dors Sur la grande mer la reine à l'œil clair t'appelle en nageant doucement ah ! vients, doux ami, entends mon appel ! je veux te donner le ciel
