Strashnaja minuta
Language:
Russian
Ty vnimajesh', vniz skloniv golovku,
ochi opustiv i tikho vzdykhaja!
Ty ne znajesh', kak mgnoven'ja
`eti strashny dlja menja
i polny znachen'ja,
kak menja smushchajet
`eto molchan'je.
Ja prigovor tvoj zhdu,
ja zhdu reshen'ja -
il' nozh ty mne v serdce vonzish',
il' raj mne otkrojesh'.
Akh, ne terzaj menja,
skazhi lish' slovo!
Ot chego zhe robkoje priznan'je
v serdce tak tebe zapalo gluboko?
Ty vzdykhajesh', ty drozhish' i plachesh';
il' slova ljubvi v ustakh tvojikh
nemejut, ili ty menja zhalejesh', ne ljubish'?
Ja prigovor tvoj zhdu, ja zhdu reshen'ja -
il' nozh ty mne v serdce vonzish',
il' raj mne otkrojesh'.
Akh, vnemnli zhe mol'be mojej,
otvechaj, otvechaj skorej!
ja prigovor tvoj zhdu, ja zhdu reshen'ja!

The fearful minute
Language:
English
You listen, head inclined,
eyes lowered, sighing gently!
You know not how these moments
are full of fear for me,
full of meaning,
and how these silences
trouble me.
I await your verdict;
your sentence -
whether you will plunge a knife into my heart,
or open the gates to paradise.
Do not torment me;
say just one word!
Why are you so timid,
and so troubled?
You sigh, tremble and weep -
can words of love not
pass your lips, or do you not love me?
I await your verdict, your sentence -
whether you will plunge a knife into my heart,
or open the gates to paradise.
Oh, answer my prayers;
answer me quickly!
I await your verdict, your sentence!
