Où vas‑tu, souffle d'aurore
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: CAT
Où vas-tu, souffle d'aurore, Vent de miel qui vient d'éclore, Fraîche haleine d'un beau jour ? Où vas-tu, brise inconstante, Quand la feuille palpitante Semble frissonner d'amour ? Est-ce au fond de la vallée, Dans la cime échevelée D'un saule où le ramier dort ? Poursuis-tu la fleur vermeille, Ou le papillon qu'éveille Un matin de flamme et d'or ? Va plutôt, souffle d'aurore, Bercer l'âme que j'adore ; Porte à son lit embaumé L'odeur des bois et des mousses, Et quelques paroles douces Comme les roses de mai.

Серенада
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Ты куда летишь, как птица, юный сын младой денницы, свежий, чистый ветерок? В даль спешишь, того незная, что от страсти замирая, каждый здесь дрожит листок! Иль в долину хочешь мчаться, в тёмных ивах покачаться, где спит сладко соловей, [меж ветвей спит]1? Хочешь к розе ты спуститься, о мотыльком ли порезвиться, в майский день, под блеском лучей? Нет, лети зарею ясной к той, кого люблю я страстно, к ложу её понеси запах роз и трав душистых, поцелуй мой нежный, частый, как дуновенье весны.
