Не говорите мне: "он умер", ‑‑ он живёт
Language: Russian (Русский)
Не говорите мне: "он умер", -- он живёт, Пусть жертвенник разбит, -- огонь ещё пылает. Пусть роза сорвана, -- она ещё цветет, Пусть арфа сломана, -- аккорд ещё рыдает!..

Call him not dead
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
Call him not dead, -- he lives! Ah you forget Though the pyre lies in ruin the fires upward sweep, The string of the harp is broken but her chords still weep, The rose is cut but it is blooming yet!
