Жаворонок
Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: ENG ENG FRE
Между небом и землёй
Песня раздаётся,
Неисходною струёй
Громче громче льётся.
Не видать певца полей!
Где поёт так громко
Над подруженькой своей
Жаворонок звонкий.
Ветер песенку несёт,
А кому, не знает.
Та, к кому она поймёт,
От кого -- узнает!
Лейся ж, песенка моя,
Песнь надежды сладкой...
Кто-то вспомнит про меня
И вздохнёт украдкой.

The lark
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
Between the sky and the earth
A song is heard
An unending stream of sound
Pours louder, louder.
Unseen is the singer in the field
Where sings so loudly
Above his mate
The sonorous skylark.
The wind carries the song,
To whom, it does not know.
She to whom it is sung,
She will understand who it is from.
Pour on, my song
Of sweet hope
Someone remembers me
And sighs furtively.
Translator's note: i.e. We don't see the singer in the field where the sonorous skylark sings so loudly above his mate.
