I
Всё тайно, томно и темно.
Речь страсти трепетно струится.
И так желание сильно
Навеки воедино слиться!..
II
I'd never known passion...
But it suddenly came,
Caught my mind by obsession,
Set my heart on a flame,
Crushed my weakening will,
Turned me into a slave
And I sat, chained and still,
In the dark empty nave...
From this strangest capture
I longed to break free,
But my heart thrilled with rapture
For the one who caught me!
