'None but the Lonely Heart'//'Нет, только тот, кто знал'//'Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt'

Tchaikovsky composed a set of six romances for voice and piano, Op. 6, in late 1869; the last of these songs is the melancholy "None but the Lonely Heart" (Russian: Нет, только тот, кто знал, romanized: Net, tol'ko tot, kto znal). None but the lonely heart knows what I suffer! Alone and parted from all joy, I see the firmament in that direction. Alas, who loves and knows me is far away. I'm dizzy, it burns my entrails. None but the lonely heart knows what I suffer.
