The second poem starts with | |
The sounds of horn | |
Startles those | |
Those who were not sleeping in shacks. | |
beautiful stranger | |
Came, riding the horse, | |
And he saw | |
a beautiful women, | |
Put her on the horse | |
And rode away with her. | |
[ Russian: | |
Звуки рога | |
Заставили вздрогнуть | |
Тех кто в лачугах не спал. | |
Незнакомец прекрасный | |
На коне прискакал, | |
И вот он увидел | |
Незнакомку прекрасную, | |
На коня посадил ее | |
И умчался с ней прочь. | |
] | |
in the same poem there is a very notable part: | |
- Because we are afraid to die. - | |
We would like to die. | |
Because our age dresses all in black | |
And wears a tall cylinder hat, | |
And yet we continue to run, | |
And then, when the clock strikes | |
Hour of idleness and hour of detachment | |
from daily affairs, | |
Then comes to us bifurcation | |
And we do not dream of anything | |
[ Russian: | |
- Потому что боимся мы умереть. - | |
Мы хотели б с тобой умереть. | |
Потому что век наш весь в черном, | |
Он носит цилиндр высокий, | |
И все-таки мы продолжаем бежать, | |
А затем когда бьет на часах | |
Бездействия час и час отстраненья | |
От дел повседневных, | |
Тогда приходит к нам раздвоенье | |
И мы ни о чем не мечтаем. | |
