Où vivre? Dans quelle ombre

Language: French

Où vivre? Dans quelle ombre
Étouffer mon ennui?
Ma tristesse est plus sombre
Que la nuit.

Où mourir? Sous quelle onde
Noyer mon deuil amer?
Ma peine est plus profonde
Que la mer.

Où fuir? De quelle sorte
Égorger mon remord?
Ma douleur est plus forte
Que la mort!

Gde zhit'?

Language: Russian

 Gde zhit'? Vo t'me kakikh nochej
 Ukryt' zaplakannyje ochi?
 Mojo otchajan'je mrachnej,
 Chem sumrak nochi, chem sumrak nochi.

 Gde umeret'? V volnakh kakikh
 Mne potopit' izbytok gorja?
 Ono mjatezhnej voln morskikh
 I glubzhe morja, i glubzhe morja.

 Kuda bezhat'? V kakuju dal'?
 Nadezhde-prizraku ne ver'te!
 V dushe zhivushchaja pechal'
 Sil'neje smerti, sil'neje smerti.
