Нет, только тот, кто знал
Свиданья, жажду,
Поймёт, как я страдал
И как я стражду.
Гляжу я вдаль... нет сил,
Тускнеет око...
Ах, кто меня любил
И знал - далеко!1
Вся грудь горит... Кто знал
Свиданья жажду,
Поймёт, как я страдал
И как я стражду.

1 Tchaikovsky adds a repeat of the first stanza with one small change in the first word:
Ах, только тот, кто знал
Свиданья, жажду,
Поймёт, как я страдал
И как я стражду.

Mignon
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the Russian (Русский)
Alleen degene die
de eenzaamheid kent
en die verlangt
naar een ontmoeting,
weet hoe ik heb geleden
en nog immer lijd.
Met omfloerste blik,
staar ik in de verte.
Ach, degene die van mij
hield en mij kende is ver weg.
Alleen degene die
de eenzaamheid kent
en die verlangt.
