I loved you by

by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

(Translation by Emil Sharafutdinov)

I loved you; even now I must confess,

Some embers of my love their fire retain;

But do not let it cause you more distress,

I do not want to sadden you again.

Hopeless and tonguetied, yet I loved you dearly

With pangs the jealous and the timid know;

So tenderly I love you, so sincerely,

I pray God grant another love you so.
