Translation Singable translation by Bruno Tutenberg (1887 - 1968)

Примиренье
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
О, засни, моё сердце, глубоко!
Не буди: - не пробудишь, что было,
Не зови, что умчалось далёко,
Не люби, что ты прежде любило...
Пусть надеждой и лживой мечтой
Не смутится твой сон и покой!

Для тебя невозвратно былое,
На грядущее нет упованья...
Ты не знало в блаженстве покоя,
Успокойся ж на ложе страданья,
И старайся не помнить зимой,
Как срывало ты розы весной!

Versöhnung
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
O mein Herz, laß vom Schlaf dich umfangen,
wecke nicht, was für immer verloren;
rufe nicht, was schon längst dir entgangen,
liebe nicht, was du einst dir erkoren,
daß dein ruhiger Schlaf nicht gestört,
nicht von täuschender Hoffnung betört!

Unersetzlich ist, was schon verflossen,
und du kannst auf die Zukunft nicht hoffen;
hast du früher das Glück nicht genossen,
sei auch jetzt nicht vom Leide betroffen.
So vergiß in der frostigen Nacht,
wie der Lenz dir einst Rosen gebracht!

From a Tchaikovsky score.
