Do you speak Russian?
My son asked me to translate a "romance" - a russian city folk song. The language is the archaic russian, not used nowadays.
The line is: "nemoj toski moej ne mnozh'"
I've translated it as "my mute depression don't multiply"
and we are all still hysterical.
Do you have a better translation?

If you can figure a way to repost the line using Cyrillic, the Russian speakers and readers here (not me, sorry) will be able to give a pretty close translation. I don't think many Russians can read transliterations.

I am going to try and help with not so literary translation, but hopefully a slightly better fitting than the automated one:
"Don't let/make my silent sorrow grow deeper"
PS. Cyrillic transcription should not be necessary for bilingual speakers.
