Песня Офелии
Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE ITA
Разлучаясь с девой милой, друг,
Ты клялся мне любить!...
Уезжая в край постылый,
Клятву данную хранить!...
Там, за Данией счастливой,
Берега твои во мгле...
Вал сердитый, говорливый
Моет слёзы на скале...
Милый воин не вернётся,
Весь одетый в серебро...
В гробе тяжко всколыхнётся
Бант и чёрное перо...

Ophelia's song
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
When you left me, my dear friend
you promised to love me
You left for a distant land,
and swore to keep your promise!
Beyond the happy land of Denmark,
the shores are in darkness...
The angry waves wash
over the rocks...
My warrior shall not return,
all dressed in silver...
The bow, and the black feather will
restlessly lie in their grave.
