Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen

Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen,
Mag es hageln, mag es stürmen,
Klirrend an mein Fenster schlagen,
Nimmer will ich mich beklagen!
Denn, ich trage in der Brust
Liebchens Bild und Frühlings Lust!

Pust' na zemlju sneg valitsja

Pust' na zemlju sneg valitsja,
Vikhr' krutit i burja zlitsja,
Pust' stuchit ko mne v okno…
Nuzhdy net… mne vsjo ravno:
Obraz miloj nado mnoju
Veet tikhoju vesnoju…
