Die blauen Frühlingsaugen

Die blauen Frühlingsaugen
schau'n aus dem Gras hervor;
Das sind das lieben, lieben Veilchen,
die ich zum Strauß erkor.

Ich pflücke sie und denke,
und die Gedanken all,
Die mir im Herzen seufzen,
singt laut die Nachtigall.

Ja, was ich denke, singt sie
lautschmetternd, daß es schallt; 
Mein zärtliches Geheimnis
weiß schon der ganze Wald.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Neue Gedichte, in Neuer Frühling, no. 13

Glazki vesny golubyje

Glazki vesny golubyje
Krotko gljadjat iz travy.
Ljuby vy miloj, fialki,
S polem rasstanetes' vy.

Rvu ja cvety i mechtaju...
V roshche pojut solov'ji...
Bozhe moj, kto rasskazal im
I dumy, i grjozy moji?

Gromko oni [razglashajut]1
Vsjo, chto [ja v]2 serdce taju...
Celaja roshcha uznala
Nezhnuju tajnu moju.
