Сомнение
The Doubt (an English Romance)1
Text by Nestor Kukolnik
Set by Mikhail Glinka

Be calm, restless passions!

Be dormant, my hopeless heart!
I am weeping, I am anguishing,
My soul is exhausted by our separation;
I am anguishing, I am weeping,
I can’t express my pain in tears.

In vain I hope for happiness,

I don’t believe its cruel vows!
The separation takes away love.
Like in a persistent nightmare,
I see my happy rival,
My boiling jealousy’s raging,
And secretly and angrily
My hand is searching. for a weapon

In vain my jealousy suggests me her betrayal,

I don’t believe its cunning slander.
We will be happy, you will be mine again.
The time of anguish will pass,
We shall embrace once again,
My resurrected heart will beat with fervent passion,
With fervent passion our lips will unite (in a kiss).

uj\MiTeS val\NeNijA \straSTi

Уймитесь, волнения страсти!
Calm, of restlessness passions!

zaS\Ni BEzna\DE/nAjE \SErcE

Засни, безнадежное сердце!
Be dormant, oh hopeless heart!

ja \plahu ja \stra/du
Я плачу, я стражду, -
I’m weeping, I am suffering,

du\wa uta\MilAs v rAz\luKE

Душа утомилась в разлуке;
My soul is exhausted by separation;

ja \stra/du ja \plahu
Я стражду, я плачу, -
I’m suffering, I’m weeping,
