Уймитесь, волнения страсти! Засни, безнадежное сердце! Я плачу, я стражду, - Душа утомилась в разлуке; Я стражду, я плачу, - Не выплакать горя в слезах. Напрасно надежду мне счастье гадает, Не верю, не верю обетам коварным! Разлука уносит любовь. Как сон неотступный и грозный, Мне снится соперник счастливый, И тайно и злобно Кипящая ревность пылает, И тайно и злобно Оружия ищет рука. Напрасно измену мне ревность гадает, Не верю, не верю коварным наветам. Я счастлив, ты снова моя. Минует печальное время, - Мы снова обнимем друг друга, И страстно и жарко забьется воскресшее сердце, И страстно и жарко с устами сольются уста.

Be stopped, restlesness of passion! Fall asleep, hopeless heart! I weep, I suffer, The soul is tired of separation; I suffer, I weep, Not to sob the grief into tears. In vain hope to me happiness looks, I do not believe, I do not believe insidious vows! Separation takes away love. Like a sleep persistent and terrible, I dream of my happy rival, And secretly and maliciously boiling jealousy blazes, And secretly and maliciously my hand searches for a weapon. In vain jealousy brings treason to me, I do not believe, I do not believe the insidious slander. I am happy: you are mine again. Sadly the time passes, we again embrace each other, And passionately and hotly my happy heart throbs again, And passionately and hotly our lips melt together.
