Pyotr Ilyich 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), a setting of Lev Mei's poem 'The Harpist's Song' which in turn was a translation of 'Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt' from Goethe'sWilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.

- None But the Lonely Heart With the sotto voce accent on any social significance, Heart from Richard Llewellyn's novel emerges as a medley of simple romance in London's east side, interspersed.
- None but the Lonely Heart. When social realist playwright Clifford Odets was tasked with shepherding Richard Llewellyn’s novel None but the Lonely Heart to the screen, he received a crash course in the star system courtesy of RKO. “It was about a 19-year-old boy with pimples whose two desires are to have a girlfriend and to get a new suit.
Tchaikovsky dedicated this piece to Alina Khvostova. The song was premiered by Russian mezzo-sopranoYelizaveta Lavrovskaya in Moscow in 1870, following it with its Saint Petersburg premiere the following year during an all-Tchaikovsky concert hosted by Nikolai Rubinstein;[1] the latter was the first concert devoted entirely to Tchaikovsky's works.[2]

Mei's Russian translation (transliteration)
Net, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja, zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal
i kak ja strazhdu.
Gljazhu ja vdal'..
net sil, tusknejet oko..
Akh, kto menja ljubil
i znal — daleko!
Akh, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal
i kak ja strazhdu.
Vsja grud' gorit..
Net, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja, zhazhdu,

Gljazhu ja vdal'..
net sil, tusknejet oko..
Akh, kto menja ljubil
i znal — daleko!
Akh, tol'ko tot,
kto znal svidan'ja zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal
i kak ja strazhdu.

Goethe's original
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
weiß, was ich leide!
Allein und abgetrennt
von aller Freude,
seh ich ans Firmament
nach jener Seite.
Ach! der mich liebt und kennt,
ist in der Weite.
Es schwindelt mir, es brennt
mein Eingeweide.
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
Weiß, was ich leide!
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
weiß, was ich leide!
Allein und abgetrennt
von aller Freude,
seh ich ans Firmament
nach jener Seite.
Ach! der mich liebt und kennt,
ist in der Weite.
Es schwindelt mir, es brennt
mein Eingeweide.
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
Weiß, was ich leide!
An English translation
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.
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.
