Lyrics

О, если б мог выразить в звуке
Всю силу страданий моих,
В душе моей стихли бы муки,
И ропот сомненья затих;
И я б отдохнул, дорогая,
Страдание высказав всё.
Заветному звуку внимая,
Разбилось бы сердце твоё.

Lyrics translation

Oh, if I could Express it in sound
All the power of my sufferings,
My soul would have been relieved of its torment,
And the murmur of doubt died away;
And I would rest, dear,
Suffering by saying everything.
Cherished the sound of listening,
It would break your heart.
