Du weisst es nicht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Schon graut der Tag im Osten, Und durch die Wolken bricht Ein bleicher Strahl der Sonne: Ich lebe, du weisst es nicht! Im Herzen unendliches Sehnen, Schau ich empor zum Licht, Es füllt mein Auge mit Thränen: Ich liebe, du weisst es nicht! Mir gegenüber im Spiegel Schau ich ein bleiches Gesicht, Es trägt des Todtes Siegel: Ich sterbe, du weisst es nicht!

Ne znaeš' ty
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Vostok blestit zareju I schodit s vysoty Den' novyj nad zemlëju Živu ja, no ne znaeš' ty! Ljubujus' dnja sijan'em I sladkie mečty volnujut grud' želan'em Ljublju ja, ljublju ja No ne znaeš' ty! Vot zerkalo risuet Mne bledn'ie čerty Smert' blizko, žizn' minuet JA gibnu, no ne znaeš' ty!
