Language: French (Français)
Étonnants voyageurs ! quelles nobles histoires Nous lisons dans vos yeux profonds comme les mers ! Montrez-nous les écrins de vos riches mémoires, Ces bijoux merveilleux, faits d'astres et d'éthers. Nous voulons voyager sans vapeur et sans voile ! Faites, pour égayer l'ennui de nos prisons, Passer sur nos esprits, tendus comme une toile, Vos souvenirs avec leurs cadres d'horizons. Dites, qu'avez-vous vu ?

Chudesnye plovcy! Chto za povestvovan'ja
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Chudesnye plovcy! Chto za povestvovan'ja Vstajut iz vashikh glaz — bezdonneje morej! Javite nam, raskryv larcy vospominanij, Sokrovishcha, kakikh ne vidyval Nerej. Umchite nas vperjod — bez parusa i para! Javite nam (na l'ne natjanutykh kholstin Tak nekogda ruka ocham javljala charu) Videnija svoi, obramlennye v sin'. Chto videli vy, chto?
