Пустое вы сердечным ты
Она, обмолвясь, заменила
И [все счастливые]1 мечты
В душе влюблённой [возбудила]2.
Пред ней задумчиво стою,
Свести очей с неё нет силы;
И говорю ей: как вы милы!
И мыслю: как тебя люблю.

Un vous poli par un tu venant du cœur
A été remplacé par un lapsus de sa langue,
Et tous les rêves heureux
Dans mon âme éprise ont été éveillés par elle.
Devant elle, je me tiens plongé dans mes pensées.
Je n'ai pas le pouvoir de détourner mes yeux d'elle.
Je lui dis : comme vous êtes aimable,
Mais je pense : comme je t'aime !
