Alla cetra

Eco di miei lamenti,
cetra fedel, che tenti?
Spiegare il mio dolore
non può lo stesso amore.

Flebil tu cedi invano
all' ingegnosa mano
querele imiti e pianti
con le corde tremanti.

Rispondi a miei sospiri
con replicati giri,
ma quel che rende il suono
i miei sospir non sono.

Fini amato bene
lungi è da questa sirene,
spiegare il mio dolore
non puó lo stesso amore.

K citre

`Ekho mojikh rydanij,
citra, zachem zvuchish' ty vnov'?
Akh, vyrazit' serdca stradanij
ne v silakh sama ljubov'!

Struny naprasno zazvuchali,
net, ne peredat' strunam zvenjashchim
moj vzdokh i ston pechali,
zvukam ikh drozhashchim.

V otvet na stony muki
zvuchit struna, rydaja.
O chjom te plachut zvuki, -
ja ne o tom vzdykhaju!

Ta, komu otdal ja vse mechtan'ja,
akh! mne jejo ne vidat' uzh vnov',
i vyrazit' serdca stradan'ja
ne v silakh sama ljubov'!
