Не верь мне друг, когда в избытке горя
Language: Russian (Русский)
Не [верь мне друг, когда в избытке]1 горя, Я говорю, что разлюбил тебя, В отлива час не верь измене моря, Оно к земле воротится, любя. Уж я тоскую, прежней страсти полный, [Мою]2 свободу вновь тебе отдам, И уж бегут [с обратным]3 шумом волны Издалека к любимым берегам!

Glaube mir nicht, wenn du aus meinem...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Our translations: ENG
Glaube mir nicht, wenn du aus meinem Munde Das Wort vernimmst: "ich liebe dich nicht mehr;" Dem Flieh'n der See in ihrer Ebbestunde Glaub' nimmer du, harr' ihrer Wiederkehr. Es schwillt das Herz in Lieb'- und Schmerzensgluthen, Ich fühle mich [auf's]1 neu an Dich gebannt, Und brausend rollen die entwichnen Fluthen Zurücke schon zu dem geliebten Strand.
