I loved you and this love by chance,
Inside my soul has never fully vanished No
longer shall it ever make you tense I
wouldn't want to sadden you with anguish. I loved
you speechlessly and wildly, By modesty
and jealousy was stressed I loved you so
sincerely and so mildly, As, God permit, may
love you someone else.

I remember a wonderful moment As before
my eyes you appeared, Like a vision, fleeting,
momentary, Like a spirit of the purest beauty.
In the torture of hopeless melancholy, In the
bustle of the world's noisy hours, That voice
rang out so tenderly, I dreamed of that lovely
face of yours.The years flew quickly. The
storm's blast Scattered the dreams of former
times, And I forgot your tender voice, And the
features of your heavenly face. In remoteness,
in gloomy isolation, My days dragged quietly,
nothing was new, No godlike face, no
inspiration, No tears, no life, no love, no you.
Then to my soul an awakening came, And there
again your face appeared, Like a vision,
fleeting, momentary, Like a spirit of the purest
beauty. And my heart beats with a rapture new,
And for its sake arose again A godlike face, an
inspiration, And life, and tears, and love, and
you.

The storm wind covers the sky Whirling
the fleecy snow drifts, Now it howls like a
wolf, Now it is crying, like a lost child, Now
rustling the decayed thatch On our tumbledown
roof, Now, like a delayed traveler, Knocking on
our window pane. Our wretched little cottage
Is gloomy and dark. Why do you sit all
silentHugging the window, old gran? Has the
howling of the storm Wearied you, at last, dear
friend? Or are you dozing fitfully Under the
spinning wheel's humming?
Let us drink, dearest friend To my poor wasted
youth. Let us drink from grief - Where's the
glass? Our hearts at least will be lightened.
Sing me a song of how the bluetit Quietly lives
across the sea. Sing me a song of how the young
girl Went to fetch water in the morning.

My beauty, do not sing
My beauty, do not sing for me
The songs of Georgia, of grievance
My thoughts immediately flee
To another life and shores in distance.
They bring to me -- your cruel tunes
Alas, the sad and clear vision
The steppe, the night -- under the moon,
The poor and very distant virgin.
While seeing you, I could forget
The image so sad and fair,
But, look, you sing -- and it is set
Again before my eyes in air.
My beauty, do not sing for me
The songs of Georgia, of grievance
My thoughts immediately flee
To another life and shores in distance.
My beauty, do not sing for me

A Jealous maiden was scolding a young man, crying
bitterly
All of a sudden, a young man fell into light
sleep on her shoulder.
A maiden fell silent at once, cherishing his
light sleep,
And smiled at him, shedding her quiet tears.

????????? ?????? Alexander Pushkin

The flying wrack of clouds grows flimsier far.
O limpid star of sorrows, evening star! Your
rays have touched the autumn plains to silver,
The black heights of the rocks, the dreaming
river. You feeble gleam in the night sky I love.
It prompts long-sleeping thoughts to stir and
move, As I recall, familiar Orb, your rising
Above all that peaceful land, all joys
comprising, Where slender poplar in the valley
grows, Where tender myrtle and dark cypress
grows, And languorously the Southern seas are
breaking. There once I strolled I, languidly
cogitating, High in the mountains, far above the
sea. Till, as the dusk flowed over vale and lea,
A maiden through the murk to seek you came And
told her fair friends how you bear her name.

Adel
Play, Adel, and know no grief.
You were wed by Haritas and Lel
And your cradle was rocked by them.
Your spring is quiet, light
You were born for pleasures,
Savor the moments of bliss!
Devote your Youth to love!
Play, Adel and know no grief.
You were wedded by Haritas and Lel.
Your spring is quiet and clear
You were born for the pleasures,
Savor the moments of bliss!
The days of youth bequeath to love!
Bequeath to love, and love in busy light,
Adel, and love in lively light, Adel,

October, 19
The forest is shedding its crimson garments,
The frost is silvering the withered field,
The day unwillingly comes into view for a moment,
And hides again behind the mountains.
Blaze, oh fire, in my desolate cell,
And you, my wine, the friend of autumn's cold,
Bring the oblivion to my heart,
And help me forget my sufferings.
My friends, our union is truly wonderful!
It is indivisible and eternal as a soul,
It is firm, liberal and joyful,
The Muses themselves have blessed it.
No matter where the fate tosses us

So feast while we are still here!
Alas, there are not many of us remaining
Some are dead, others are far away
We are withering as days pass by
Invisibly bending and cooling,
We are approaching our sunset
So which of us will be the only one left
To celebrate the Day of Lyceum in his old age?
Oh hapless friend! A stranger
To the new generations,
He will remember the days of our reunions
Covering his eyes with his trembling hand
I wish he spends this day
Deriving consolation from a cup of wine,
Just as I, a poor recluse,
Have spent it without grief and worries.

The sail
The sail is whitening alone
In blue obscurity of sea
What did it leave in
country own? What does it want
so far to see?..
The wind is strong, the mast is creaking,
The wave is playing with the wave
... But not a fortune it is seeking,
Nor from this fortune is
its way.
By it a stream is bright as azure,
By beams of sun it's warmed and
blessed But it is seeking gales as
treasure, As if the tempests
give a rest.

No, not on you my passion's bent
And not for me your beauty's splendor
In you I love what I remember
Of sorrow past and youth misspent.
And sometimes when I look at you and seek
With steadfast gaze to penetrate
your heart In occult colloquies I
bear my part - But it
is with another that I speak.
I speak then with that long-lost love of
mine, Seek other features in your
features' stead And, in your living
lips, see lips long dead, And see
your eyes with burnt-out ardors shine.

WHY
Im sad because I love you,
And I know the blossom of your youth
Will know no mercy from rumors guileful
persecution.
For every day of light or sweetest moment
Youll pay to fate with tears and grief.
Im sad. Because youre merry.

Alone I set out on the road
The flinty path is sparkling in the mist
The night is still. The desert harks to God,
And star with star converses.
The vault is overwhelmed with solemn wonder
The earth in cobalt aura sleeps. . .
Why do I feel so pained and troubled?
What do I harbor hope, regrets?
I see no hope in years to come,
Have no regrets for things gone by.
All that I seek is peace and freedom!
To lose myself and sleep!
But not the frozen slumber of the grave...
I'd like eternal sleep to leave

Nightingale
Nightingale, my nightingale,
Vociferous nightingale!
Where, where are you flying?
Where will you be singing all night long?
Will some poor thing, just like me,
Listen to you all night long,
With her eyes wide open,
Drowning in tears?
You, you fly my nightingale,
Beyond faraway lands,
Beyond blue seas
To the distant shores
Visit all countries,
All villages and cities
But you wont find anywhere

Am I the young one
With precious pearls on the chest
Am I the young one
With flaming ring on the hand
Am I the young one
With precious friend in my heart.
One autumn day large pearls on my chest
Grew dim,
One winter night the ring on my hand
Came unsoldered,
And this spring
My precious stopped loving me.

Oh, those eyes! I have them known!
How I loved them --
knows God!
From their night of charm and throe,
I couldn't tear away my
heart.
Her gaze, so fathomless and endless,
Which bared life to
whole base,
Reflected such enduring sadness,
Such terrifying passion's
depth!
It quivered, gloomy and retired
To her
eye-lashes' thickest shade,
Like love's enjoyment, fully tired,
Like
suffering, induced by fate.
And in this moments of sensation,
I never could be able
to cease
Meeting it, void of agitation,
And marveling -- without
tears.

I met you and the pastcame back to life
in my dead heart.Remembering a golden time,my
heart became so warm.
Just as in late autumn
there are days, the transient hour,when
suddenly spring wafts againand something stirs
within us,
so, winnowed within by the breathof
fullness my soul knew in those years,with a
rapture I thought I'd forgotten,I stare into
your dear face.
As if we'd been apart for agesI stare at
you and think I'm dreaming,and suddenly sounds
unsilenced in mecould be heard within me, but
louder!That was more than reminiscencemy life
began to talk once more,as did in you that very
same charm,as did in my soul that very same love!

Dont wake her up at the dawn,
Shes sleeping so sweetly that time,
Morning is breathing on her chest,
Flaming brightly on her cheeks.
Her pillow is hot,
And so is her exhausting dream,
Her braids are streaming on
both of her shoulders
Like two black ribbons.
Yesterday night
She was sitting by window for a long-long time,
And was watching the play of the sliding moon
On the thunder clouds.
And the brighter the moon light was,
And the louder a nightingale was singing,
She was getting more and more pale
With her heart beating more and more painfully.

Do you recall that night? The stars were slowly
rambling
Across the lucid skies in shiny silent hordes
And in this world of calm the piano's strings
were trembling
As trembled our hearts while you were striking
chords.
You sang, until the dawn dispelled the charms of
darkness,
That you alone are love, eternal as the life,
As lambent as the sky's innumerable sparkles,
As fatal as a blow of the assassin's knife.
And many days had passed, exhausting and
tormenting,
And many moons had drooped before I heard again
The same enchanting voice, both joyful and
lamenting,
The same inspiring song of happiness and pain.
You sang, until the sun displaced its sparkling
peers,
The multitudes of stars, bewitching lights of
night
And, as before, my eyes were filled with tender
tears,
And, as before, my heart was trembling in delight.

If I meet you
If I meet you or if I see you
What a shiver, what fire would spread in my soul.
If you look at me, oh my soul, Im on fire, Im
trembling,
And Im standing so senseless and mute in front
of you!
If you tell me something, I dont know what to
say back,
Ill find no words for your greetings,
And there is no words in this world of men
To describe your kisses and delights!
Oh maid, oh joy of my soul! We live this life
And I dont want any other life in my life!

Foggy morning, rimy morning,
Sad fields are covered by snow,
Unwillingly you will recall the time that passed,
Will also recall the faces forgotten.
You will recall the abundant passionate speeches
And glances, you sought so timidly and
longingly,
First dates and the last dates,
Soft sound of the loved voice.
You will recall how you left with the strange
smile,
You will recall a lot of dear and distant,
Listening to the continues hum of the wheels
Glancing dreamily into the endless sky.

Dont tempt me with no need
By bringing back your tenderness
All temptations of the days gone by
Are stranger to a disappointed one!
I dont believe in assurances no more,
I dont believe in love no more,
And I cant indulge in to the dreams
That once betrayed me.
Dont enhance my blind grief,
Say no words about the past
And, or my caring friend,
Dont disturb the ill one in his dreams.
Im sleeping, Im lulled to sleep so sweetly,
Forget the dreams of past
You wont awake any love in my soul,
Just emotions.

Amid the din of the ball..
Amid the din of the ball,
In the tumult of everyday bustle,
I chanced to see
you, but a secret
veiled your features
Only your eyes looked on sadly,
But your voice sounded so divine,
Like the sound of a distant
pipe, Like the seas
playful wave.
I loved your slender figure,
And your pensive look,
And your laughter,
at once sad and vibrant, Has
been ringing in my heart since then.
When, in the lonely hours of the night,
I am weary and would lie down to
rest, I see your sad eyes,
And hear your
happy voice.
Then sadly, so sadly, I sink into sleep,
A sleep of dreams beyond recall.
I do not know whether I
love you But I
believe that I do.

Do not believe, my dearest, when I say That I
no longer love you. When the tide ebbs do not
believe the sea - It will return anew. Already
I long for you, and passion fills me, I yield my
freedom thus to you once more.Already the waves
return with shouts and glee To fill again that
same beloved shore.

That was amidst the early spring,
The grass was slightly grown,
The heat was mild, and
fast were springs, And light
through groves was shone.
The shepherds horn, in early morn,
Was not yet singing loud,
The frugal fern, still in curls
woven, Was standing on
woods ground.
That was amidst the early spring,
Were birches shades around,
When with a smile just before
me, You put your lashes
down.
It was your answer to my love,
That were put down your glances
O, wood! O, sun! O, youth! O,
life! O, what a hope
rises!
And before you, I poured my tears,
At your face gazing, dear,
It was the early spring
amidst, And
birches' shades were here!
That was amidst the dawn of our time -
O, Happiness! O, tears!
O, forest, O, life! O, sunlight!
O, fresh spirit of
a birch tree!

My fire glistens in the fog,
The sparks die out, in flight
Nobody will met
us at night, We will
part on the bridge.
When the night is over, at the dusk,
My darling, I will leave for the
prairie With a crowd of gypsies
After the wandering carriage.
As a farewell, tie my fringed shawl
In a knot on my neck!
Like its ends, you and me
Were close these days.

Who will tell me whats to be?
Who will tomorrow, my darling,
Untie on my neck
The
knot youve tied?
Do remember if another,
Loving the dear friend,
Will sing songs and play
On your laps!
My fire glistens in the fog,
The sparks die out, in flight
Nobody will
met us at night, We
will part on the bridge.

How many people fell in this abyss,
I fathom from afar!
There will be time, and I will vanish too
From earth's exterior.
All will be still, that sang and that did
struggle,
That glistened and rejoiced
The greenness of my eyes, the gold of my hair,
And this my tender voice.
Life will continue with its soft hot bread,
With day's oblivion.
All will continue - under outstretched heavens
As if I'd never been!
Like children changeable in every mien
And angry not for long,
Who loved the times when in the fireplace
Into ash turned the log,

To all - who are the friends and strangers
To never having known the measure, me?
I turn to you with this my faith's demand
And love's query.
Both day and night, in word and letter
both
For truth of yes and no,
For that though I am but twenty I am
So often in such sorrow,
For unavoidably my slights and trespasses
Will be forgiven me -
For all of my impetuous tenderness
And look too proud and free -
For quickness of events as they come
rushing,
For truth, for play, say I -
Please hear me! But do also please love
me
For this that I will die.

I'll conquer you from all lands, from all
heavens,Because forest is my cradle and my grave
is forest,Because I stand on this land - by only
one footAnd because I'll sing about you like
nobody else.I'll conquer you from all times,
from all nights,From all golden banners, from
all swords.I'll throw away keys and chase dogs
from the porchBecause in the earthly night I'm
more faithful than dog.I'll conquer you from
all others - from her, the only one,You would be
no one's fiancé, me - no one's wife,And in the
last argument I'll take you away - Silence!
-From that one with whom Jacob stand at the
night.But before I wouldn't cross hands on your
chestOh, damn it! - you are all by
yourselfYour two wings are aimed away to the
sky,Because the world is your cradleAnd your
grave is - the world!

Under caresses of an ivy plaidI recall
yesterday's dream.What was it? Who's been
defeated?Whose victory?
Rethinking everything once more,Torturing
myself once again.In this, for which no word I
know,Did love exist?
Who was the hunter? Who - the prey?
Everything devilishly upside down.
What with its lengthy purring understood
The Siberian cat?
In this self-willing one anotherWho in whose
hand was but a ball?Whose heart flew - yours or
mine,Do you recall?And still again - what has
it been too?What do I want, what do I pity?And
I don't know Did I win? Did somebodyConquer me?

Before a Mirror
Before a mirror, where there's fog
And turbid sleep, your way
I want to try - where it will lead
And where there is the quay.
I see the mast upon a ship,
And you - on deck, standing...
You - in the smoke of train... the fields
In lament of evening -
The ravens flying overhead,
The evening fields in dew...
In all the four directions I
Am truly blessing you.

I like that you are obsessed, but not by me.I
like that I am sick, but not by you.That never
ever the heavy round EarthWould sail itself away
under our feet.I like, it is permitted to be
funnyAnd loose - and is not to play with
words,Is not to blush with stifling wave
slightlyHave touched sleeves each other's, you
and me.And I like still that you can
calmlyEmbrace the others in my dear
presence,You don't predict me burning in the
hellBecause I kiss not you, but someone
else.Again and again my tender name, my
tender,You haven't mentioned day or night - in
vain...That never in the church silence for
foreverWould sing above us - halleluiah!

Thank you for that, from very heart and
hand,You do love me - and never knowing it! - so
much,For peace and rest allowed me at
nights,For rarity of seeing you at sunsets,For
walking not together under the moonAnd for the
sun is not above us all along,For you are sick -
alas! -but not by me,For I am sick - alas! - but
not by you.

Blizzards were blowing everywhere
Throughout the land. A candle burned upon the
table, A candle burned.
As midgets in the summer fly Towards a flame,
The snowflakes from the yard swarmed to The
window pane.
And, on the glass, bright snowy rings And
arrows formed. A candle burned upon the table,
A candle burned.
And on the white illumined ceiling Shadow were
cast, As arms and legs and destinies Fatefully
crossed.

Two slippers fell on to the floor With a
light sound, And waxen tears dripped from the
candle Onto a gown.
No object in the misty whiteness Could be
discerned. A candle burned upon the table, A
candle burned.
A mild draught coming from the corner Blew on
the candle, Seduction's heat raised two wings
crosswise As might an angel.
It snowed and snowed that February All
through the land. A candle burned upon the
table, A candle burned.

No one will be home,
Except the twilight. One
Winter day in
through aperture Of
non-shut curtains.
There is only fast light flight
Of white wet snowballs,
Only roofs and snow,
and besides Roofs and
snow there is nobody.
And rime will start its drawing,
And again I will be whirled by
Last years despondency
And matters of another
winter,
And they will sting again
By unforgiven guilt,
And the windows
cross-piece will get squeezed By wood
hunger.
But suddenly a portiere will get disturbed
By tremble of invasion
Measuring silence in steps,
You will come in as
future.
You will appear at the door
Wearing something white and plain,
Something really made of fabrics
That flakes of snow are made of.

I do not regret, and I do not shed tears,
All, like haze off apple-trees, must pass.
Turning gold, I'm fading, it appears,
I will not be young again, alas.
Having got to know the touch of coolness
I will not feel, as before, so good.
And the land of birch trees, - oh my goodness!-
Cannot make me wander barefoot.
Vagrant's spirit! You do not so often
Stir the fire of my lips these days.
Oh my freshness, that begins to soften!
Oh my lost emotions, vehement gaze!
Presently I do not feel a yearning,
Oh, my life! Have I been sleeping fast?
Well, it feels like early in the morning
On a rosy horse I've galloped past.

Let's sit down here, my dearest,
Look and see how much I care.
I will listen to the tempest
Under your submissive stare.
All this golden vegetation
And this fair lock of hair,-
They have come just like salvation
Of the loafer free of care.
Long ago I left my village
With the blooming fields and thicket,
Tempted by the city image
And the life of fame, so wicked.
So I buried in oblivion
Orchard, summer I enjoyed
Where I, to the frogs singing,
Raised myself to be a poet.

Autumn with the golden branches...
Maple, lime-trees, taking pleasure,
Stick their twigs inside, like clutches,
Searching for someone they treasure.
They are gone, our dear losses,
In the homely yard the crescent
Marks with beams of light on crosses
That we'll join them in the basement.
Going trough the troubles wholly
We shall go like this to welkin.
All the winding roads are only
For the living beings welcome.
Come, sit down here , my dearest,
Let me look into your face.
I will listen to the tempest
Under your submissive gaze.
