Я искал могилу милой. Обошёл я все края И рыдал слезой горючей «Где ты, милая моя?» Я в кустах увидел розу Что светилась как заря. И спросил её, с волненьем: «Ты ли, милая моя?» Мне же петь стала пташка И спросил я соловья «Молви звонкая пичужка, - Ты, желанная моя?» Соловей склонив головку На кустах своих свистал Словно ласково ответив: «Угадал ты, это я» |
I was looking for a dear grave. I had gone around the entire land And was sobbing with bitter tears “Where are you, my darling?” I saw a rose in the bushes That was shining like the dawn. And I asked it with trepidation: “Are you my darling?” A birdie began to sing to me And I asked the nightingale “Say sonorous little bird, - Are you my love?” The nightingale, having tilted its head Was whistling in the bushes As though having affectionately replied: “You guessed it. It is me” * |
