Everything has been checked. My inventory is ready.
O bell, strike for the last time.
For the last time sound the final departure.
Everything has been checked, nothing holds me here,
And voices call from the mists.
O, voices call in hope and freedom...
Everything has been checked. My bow to the past...
O bell, what an anxious sound,
What an anxious sound you send untiring...
Here soon will be the mountain pass,
Which my spirit has awaited with such rapture,
And sullenly the present passes by.
Всё пересмотрено. Готов мой инвентарь.
О, колокол, в последний раз ударь.
Последний раз звучи последнему уходу.
Всё пересмотрено, ничто не держит тут.
А из туманов голоса зовут.
О, голоса зовут в надежду и свободу.
Всё пересмотрено. Былому мой поклон…
О, колокол, какой тревожный звон,
Какой крылатый звон ты шлёшь неутомимо…
Вот скоро будет горный перевал,
Которого мой дух с таким восторгом ждал,
А настоящее идёт угрюмо мимо.
Я оставляю плату, труд и торг,
Я принимаю крылья и восторг,
Я говорю торжественно: «Во имя,
Во имя кре́стное, во имя кре́стных уз,
Во имя кре́стной муки, Иисус,
Я делаю все́ дни мои Твоими.»
«Always a slave, but with the birthplace of kings on / a swarthy chest. / And a state seal in exchange for / an earring. / A young woman with a sword, who never conceived, / Or a midwife — the crone of mutin...»
«I The Sayan rolls with one swell after another, / And with shores of chalk. / Here, is the brooding of the past, / Where time has turned numb. / Above, with a vast blanket, / The sails rustle ominously, / A shuttle boat perturbs the second / Sky of the river with its hulk bottom. / ...»
«1 I break the layered rocks / In the hour when the silty day / Is moulded, and my tired mule carries / The weighty lumps on its shaggy back. We carry them to the railroad, / Put them in a heap, — and to the sea again / The hairy legs lead us, / And the mule starts braying. And it br...»
«The city took off its wintery things. / The snows turned slobbery. / Spring has come again, / foolish and loose-tongued / as an army cadet.»
