Our translations:  ENG FRE
Расстались гордо мы,
Ни словом, ни слезою
Я грусти признака тебе не подала.
Мы разошлись навек!
Но если-бы с тобою я встретиться могла!
[ Ах, если б я хоть встретиться могла!]1

Без слёз, без жалоб я
Склонилась пред [судьбою]2.
Не знаю, сделав мне так много в жизни зла,
Любил ли ты меня?
Но если-бы с тобою я встретиться могла!
[ Ах, если б я хот встретиться могла!]1

We parted haughtily
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский) 
 We parted haughtily,
 neither word nor tear
 did I let fall to show you my sorrow.
 We parted forever!
 But if only I could see you once more!
 Ah, if only I could see you, even if just once more!
 
 Without tears, without complaining
 I bent my head before my fate.
 You have done me such harm in my life,
 and yet I wonder: did you love me?
 But if only I could see you once more!
 Ah, if only I could see you, even if just once more!
