Meinen schönsten Liebesantrag

Meinen schönsten Liebesantrag
Suchst du ängstlich zu verneinen;
Frag ich dann: ob das ein Korb sei?
Fängst du plötzlich an zu weinen.

Selten bet ich, drum erhör mich,
Lieber Gott! Hilf dieser Dirne,
Trockne ihre süßen Tränen
Und erleuchte ihr Gehirne.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Neue Gedichte, in Verschiedene, in Clarisse, no. 1

Na mol'by moji uporno

Na mol'by moi uporno
Net i net ty govorish'.
A skazhu l': togda prostimsja!
Ty rydajesh' i korish'…

Redko ja moljus', o Bozhe!
Uspokoj jejo ty razom!
Osushi jejo ty sljozy,
Prosveti jejo ty razum!
