Liebliches Kind

Language: German

Liebliches Kind,
Kannst du mir sagen,
[Sagen warum
Zärtliche Seelen
Einsam und stumm]1
Immer sich quälen,
Selbst sich [betrügen]2,
Und ihr Vergnügen
Immer nur [ahnden]3,
Da wo sie nicht sind?
Kannst du mir's sagen,
Liebliches Kind?

Pesnja iz Klaudiny

Language: Russian

Daj mne otvet,
Jesli ty mozhesh', molvi,
Zachem nezhnyja dushi
Tajno odne
Vechno stradajut?
Schast'je i radost'
V samoobmane
Tajny vsegda khotjat,
Tam gde ikh net?
Jesli ty mozhesh',
Daj mne otvet!
Moja golubka, daj mne otvet!
