Травы одеты перлами.
Где-то приветы
Грустные слышу,
Приветы милые...
Милая, где ты,
Милая!
Вечера светы ясные,
Вечера светы красные
Руки воздеты:
Жду тебя,
Милая, где ты,
Милая?
Руки воздеты:
Жду тебя,
В струях
Леты смытую
Бледными Леты
струями...
Милая, где ты,
Милая!

To her
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
Pearls adorn the grass.
From somewhere
I hear mournful greetings,
Cherished greetings...
Dear one, where are you?
Dear one!
The lights of evening are clear,
The lights of evening are red,
My arms raised,
I await you,
Dear one, where are you?
Dear one?
My arms raised,
I await you;
In the streams,
Lethe washes the years away,
Pale Lethe,
In the streams,
Dear one, where are you?
Dear one!
Note: in Greek mythology, Lethe is a river in the underworld whose water, when drunk, causes forgetfulness.
