In today's episode we talk about a wonderful poem by Alexander Pushkin:

Я вас любил: любовь еще, быть может,  В душе моей угасла не совсем;  Но пусть она вас больше не тревожит;  Я не хочу печалить вас ничем.  Я вас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,  То робостью, то ревностью томим;  Я вас любил так искренно, так нежно,  Как дай вам бог любимой быть другим

I loved you once, and still, perhaps, love’s yearning Within my soul has not quite burned away. But may it nevermore you be concerning; I would not wish you sad in any way. My love for you was wordless, hopeless cruelly, Drowned now in shyness, now in jealousy, And I loved you so tenderly, so truly, As God grant by another you may be.
