Мой костёр в тумане светит
Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: FRE
Мой костёр в тумане светит, Искры гаснут на лету... Ночью нас никто не встретит; Мы простимся на мосту. Ночь пройдёт и спозаранок В степь, далёко, милый мой, Я уйду с толпой цыганок За кибиткой кочевой. На прощанье шаль с каймою Ты на мне узлом стяни: Как концы её, с тобою Мы сходились в эти дни. Кто-то мне судьбу предскажет? Кто-то завтра, сокол мой, На груди моей развяжет Узел, стянутый тобой? Вспоминай, коли другая, Другая милого любя, Будет песни петь, играя На коленях у тебя! Мой костёр в тумане светит, Искры гаснут на лету... Ночью нас никто не встретит; Мы простимся на мосту.

Lied der Zigeunerin
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Funken sprüht mein Lagerfeuer, sie erlöschen bald im Fluß. In der Nacht wird niemand stören unsern letzten Abschiedskuß. Morgen schon in aller Frühe ziehet fort mit ihrer Schar in der Steppen ferne Weiten, die bisher dein Liebchen war. Knüpf zum Abschied einen Knoten in das Tuch mit buntem Rand; wie des Tuches beide Enden sich das Herz zum Herzen fand. Und es löst vielleicht schon morgen eines andern Mannes Hand diesen Knoten, den mir deine liebe Hand zum Abschied band. Denk an mich, wenn eine andre sich in deine Arme schmiegt und mit zarten Liebesliedern dich in süßen Schlummer wiegt. Funken sprüht mein Lagerfeuer, sie erlöschen bald im Fluß. In der Nacht wird niemand stören unsern letzten Abschiedskuß.
From a Tchaikovsky score.
