Paroles et traduction Feodor Chaliapin - Ochi chernye (Black Eyes)

Ochi chernye (Black Eyes)

Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie,
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye,
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas,
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas.

Ochi chyornye, ochi plamenny
I monyat oni v strany dal'nye,
Gde tsarit lyubov', gde tsarit pokoy,
Gde stradan'ya net, gde vrazhdy zapret.

Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie,
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye,
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas,
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas.

Ne vstrechal by vas, ne stradal by tak,
Ya by prozhil zhizn' ulybayuchis',
Vy sgubili menya ochi chernye
Unesli na vek moyo schast'e.

Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie,
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye,
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas,
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas

Dark Eyes (Black Eyes)

Dark eyes, burning eyes,
Eager and beautiful eyes,
How I love you, how I fear you,
I knew I saw you at an evil hour.

Dark eyes, flaming eyes
And they beckon to distant lands,
Where love reigns supreme, where peace reigns,
Where there is no suffering, where animosity is forbidden.

Dark eyes, burning eyes,
Eager and beautiful eyes,
How I love you, how I fear you,
I knew I saw you at an evil hour.

If I had not met you, I would not have suffered so,
I would have lived my life smiling,
You have ruined me, dark eyes
Taken away my happiness forever.

Dark eyes, burning eyes,
Eager and beautiful eyes,
How I love you, how I fear you,
I knew I saw you at an evil hour
