Какое счастье: и ночь, и мы одни!
Река как зеркало и вся блестит звездами,
А там-то голову закинь-ка, да взгляни:
Какая глубина и чистота над нами!
О, называй меня безумным!
Назови, чем хочешь:
в этот миг я разумом слабею
И в сердце чувствую такой прилив любви,
Что не могу молчать, не стану, не умею!
Я болен, я влюблён,
Но, мучась и любя,
О, слушай! о пойми! я страсти не скрываю,
И я хочу сказать, что я люблю тебя,
Тебя, одну тебя люблю я и желаю!

What happiness: it's night and we're alone!
The river is like a mirror and shines with stars,
Raise your head and look:
What depth and clarity above us!
Oh, call me a madman!
Call me what you like:
In this moment my reason is weakening
And I feel such a tide of love within my heart,
That I cannot keep silent, I will not, I am not able to!
I am ill, I am in love,
But, agonizing and loving,
Oh, hear! and remember! I am not concealing my passion,
And want to say that I love you,
You, only you I love and desire!
