Russian to French translation
Ne pars pas, reste avec moi
Ne pars pas, reste avec moi
Il est très gratifiant, si léger
J'ai embrassé la coupe
Bouche et les yeŭ et le front.
Reste avec moi,
Reste avec moi!
Ne pars pas, reste avec moi
I've Loved You So Long.
Je caresse tes feu
Et le feu et fatigué.
Reste avec moi,
Reste avec moi!
Ne pars pas, reste avec moi
Burning passion dans ma poitrine.
Rapture de l'amour nous attend avec vous ..
N'y allez pas, n'y allez pas!
Reste avec moi,
Reste avec moi!
