Songs

Ne ukhodi, ne prostivshis' so mnoi, moj milyj!
Do not leave me without saying farewell, my love!
Mne ne spalos', i teper', dorogoj moj,
I have not slept all night, and now, my darling,
Sna prevozmoch' ne imeju ja sily.
The desire to sleep is too much for me!
Jesli usnu, ja tebja poterjaju!
I fear that if I should I fall asleep, I shall lose you!
Ne ukhodi, ne prostivshis' so mnoj.
Do not leave without saying farewell to me.
Vzdrognuv, tebja ja kasajus' v trevoge.
Trembling, I anxiously reach out to touch you.
Jesli b, svjazav tvoi ruki,
If only, having bound your hands,
Ja serdcem svoim krepko derzhat' u grudi ikh mogla by!
I could hold them close to my breast with my heart!
Ne ukhodi... Ja shepchu, zasypaja:
Do not leave me… I whisper as I fall asleep:
«Ne ukhodi... ne ukhodi... ne ukhodi... ne ukhodi!»
“Do not leave… do not leave… do not leave… do not leave me!”
