Our translations: FRE
Smotri: von oblako nesyotsya serebristoe; Vezde vokrug nego siyaet nebo chistoe, Kak molodost` prekrasnaya tvoya. I utra blesk na nyom tak yarko otrazhaetsya; I tak ono svetlo, kak budto uly'baetsya -- Ono poxozhe na tebya, ono poxozhe na tebya. Smotri: von tucha tam vy'xodit odinokaya; Ona temna, kak noch`, kak grust` dushi glubokaya - Ne prosvetlit eyo siyan`e dnya... By't` mozhet ottogo ona mrachna tak groznaya, Chto s svetly'm oblakom dana stezya ej roznaya, -- Ona poxozha na menya, ona poxozha na menya.
