Original lyrics
Ochi chyorniye, ochi strastniye Ochi zhguchiye i prekrasniye Kak lyublyu ya vas! Kak boyus' ya vas Znat', uvidel vas ya v nedobriy chas Okh, nedarom vi glubini temney Vizhu traur v vas po dushe moyey Vizhu plamya v vas ya pobednoye: Sozhzheno na nem serdtse bednoye No ne grusten ya, ne pechalen ya Uteshitel'na mne sud'ba moya: Vsyo, chto luchshego v zhizni bog dal nam, V zhertvu otdal ya ognevim glazam!
Translated lyrics
Oh, your dark eyes, your passionate eyes, Your burning and beautiful eyes! How I love you! How I fear you! Yet I know, I saw you in an inopportune time (?) In your ocean deep eyes, I see grieving for my soul, I see your burning victory, And my poor heart burning with it. But I am not sad, All the best that God has given us I would sacrifice for your fire eyes!
