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!
