江南伊人

I loved you once  (by Pushkin)

I loved you once, perhaps that love has yet
To die down thoroughly within my soul;
But let it not dismay you any longer,
I have no wish to cause you any sorrow.

I loved you wordlessly, without a hope,
By shyness tortured, or by jealousy.
I loved you with such tenderness and candor,
And pray god grants you to be loved that way again
