Пленившись розой, соловей И день и ночь поёт над ней; [Но роза молча песням внемлет...]1 [Невинный сон её объемлет... ]2 На лире так певец иной Поёт для девы молодой; [Он страстью пламенной сгорает,]3 А дева милая не знает -- [Кому поёт он? отчего]4 Печальны песни так его?...

Infatuated by a rose, a nightingale Sings over it day and night; But the rose listens to his song silently ... With his lyre, a certain singer Sings to a young maid; But the sweet maid does not know -- To whom he sings; and why Does his song sound so sad?...
