В ночь, когда уснёт тревога
Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
В ночь, когда уснёт тревога
И город скроется во мгле,
О, сколько музыки у бога,
Какие звуки на земле!
Что буря жизни,
Если розы твои цветут мне и горят!
Что человеческие слёзы,
Когда румянится закат!
Прими, Владычица вселенной,
Сквозь кровь, сквозь муки, сквозь гроба
Последней страсти кубок пенный
От недостойного раба.

Music
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
When the night brings peace,
and the city is bathed in darkness,
how heavenly is the music,
what wonderful sounds can be heard!
Forget the stormy hours of life,
when you can see the roses bloom!
Forget the sorrows of mankind,
when you see the crimson sunset.
O Sovereign of the Universe,
accept through pain, through blood,
this cup, filled to the brim
with the last passions of your unworthy slave.
