Rondel

Il se cache dans ta grâce
Un doux ensorcellement.

Pour leur joie et leur tourment
Sur les coeurs tu fais main basse.
Tous sont pris. Nul ne se lasse
De ce servage charmant.
Il se cache dans ta grâce
Un doux ensorcellement.

C'est l'affaire d'un moment,
Ton regard qui sur nous passe
Est le filet qui ramasse
Nos âmes; dieu sait comment!
Il se cache dans ta grâce
Un doux ensorcellement.

by Paul Collin (1845-1915)

Charovinca

Ty soboju voploshchajesh'
Sily char i volshebstva:

Radost', schast'je i toska
Ot tebja pridut, ty znajesh',
No vsem tem, kogo plenjajesh',
Rabstva cep' ne tjazhela.
Ty soboju voploshchajesh'
Sily char i volshebstva!

Da, pobeda ne trudna:
Vzgljadom, chto ty nam brosajesh',
Ty, kak set'ju, obnimajesh'
I lovish' u vsekh serdca...
Ty soboju voploshchajesh'
Sily char i volshebstva.
