Я улыбаться перестала, Морозный ветер губы студит, Одной надеждой меньше стало, Одною песней больше будет. И эту песню я невольно Отдам за смех и поруганье, Затем, что нестерпимо больно Душе любовное молчанье.

J'ai cessé de sourire, Le vent glacé gèle les lèvres. Encore un espoir de moins, Mais il y aura une chanson de plus. Et la chanson que je n'ai pas pu empêcher Je l'abandonne au rire et à la raillerie, Car c'est une douleur insupportable Pour l'âme d'aimer en silence.
