O, no, I beg you, do not leave!
Akhilles Nikolayevich Alferaki
O, no, I beg you, do not leave!
All my pains are nothing compared to separation
I am only too fortunate
with that torment,
Press me tightly to your bosom
and say you love me.
I came anew
full of pain, pale and exhausted.
See how poor and weak I am,
how I need your love...
The new torments ahead
I await like a caress or kiss,
and again I beg you in anguish:
O stay with me, do not leave!
