Paroles et traduction Alexandrov Ensemble - The Dark Eyes

The Dark Eyes

Oči čёrnye, oči žgučie,
oči strastnye i prekrasnye,
kak ljublju ja vas,
kak bojus' ja vas,
znat' uvidel vas
ja ne v dobryj čas.
Oči čёrnye, oči plamenny
i manjat oni v strany dal'nye,
gde carit ljubov',
gde carit pokoj,
gde stradan'ja net,
gde vraždy zapret.
Oči čёrnye, oči žgučie,
oči strastnye i prekrasnye,
kak ljublju ja vas,
kak bojus' ja vas,
znat' uvidel vas
ja ne v dobryj čas.
Ne vstrečal by vas,
ne stradal by tak,
ja by prožil žizn' ulybajučis',
vy sgubili menja oči čёrnye
unesli na vek moё sčast'e.
Oči čёrnye, oči žgučie,
oči strastnye i prekrasnye,
kak ljublju ja vas,
kak bojus' ja vas,
znat' uvidel vas
ja ne v dobryj čas.
vy sgubili menja oči čёrnye

Dark Eyes

Oh, dark eyes, eyes burning bright,
Eyes passionate and full of light,
How I love you so,
How I fear you, though,
I met you, I know,
At an unlucky hour, it's so.
Oh, dark eyes, with flames that dance,
They beckon me to distant lands,
Where love holds its sway,
Where peace fills the day,
Where suffering fades away,
Where enmity forever stays.
Oh, dark eyes, eyes burning bright,
Eyes passionate and full of light,
How I love you so,
How I fear you, though,
I met you, I know,
At an unlucky hour, it's so.
Had I not met your gaze,
I wouldn't suffer in this maze,
I'd live with a smile, come what may,
You've ruined me, dark eyes, I say,
My happiness you've stolen away.
Oh, dark eyes, eyes burning bright,
Eyes passionate and full of light,
How I love you so,
How I fear you, though,
I met you, I know,
At an unlucky hour, it's so.
You've ruined me, dark eyes, I say.
