Романс [Romans] [English translation]

Oh, do not tell me: 'No,'

Please, do not tell me: 'No,'

My light, my rainbow glow

Is so uncertain though.

And still I have to go,

Wade, losing track below,

Again keep quiet throe..

Please, do not tell me: 'No.'

You're tremulous flame glow,

You're pure water flow,

Oh, God forbid, do not,

Don't tell me: 'Yes.' Oh, no!

What if the ice in soul

Will melt forevermore?

With what then will I cool

Demented years galore?

Do not reproach whole realm

That roses wilt again:

Into the same bright red

My blood will paint them slain.

Through window you'll behold

These roses in bouquet,

Don't rush to my abode,

I am no longer there...
