| The age of poets is fleeting, short flight, flight
|
| You will be in the binding, you will stand in the book binding
|
| By poems you recognize thoughts, by suffering - talent
|
| Say, we reap our misfortune and do not demand rewards
|
| And do not require a delay, death will get it and lie down
|
| If only in time for the line, line, life would let them go
|
| Just to believe that somewhere, through summer and granite
|
| The verse of a stubborn poet, someone's heart will keep
|
| In the meantime, one by one, they are being led to the black river
|
| And not only a delay, they won’t let you say lines
|
| This redoubt is quite enviable and promises immortality, but Life is leaving. |
| So embarrassing. |
| Looks like it's done
|
| Who started it like that, I don't know, but it started badly
|
| I read, I think, I searched but did not find
|
| Good to see the car and the drivers are good
|
| Don't rustle, otherwise we'll help you from the bottom of our hearts
|
| And they will offer them a choice: a bullet, a knife, a noose, or poison, or a rod, or a rack, or they will drown, or they will burn
|
| After all, they cause all the inconvenience, it is inconvenient to live long
|
| It is not pleasing to put nobility on the chopping block
|
| And they rot the poets at once, and how not to rot them
|
| So that their "dark" mind from the other world could shine
|
| To illuminate the rotten souls of their rotten executioners
|
| As if you can dress up candles from new rotten ones
|
| Poets do not need the glory of belated lies
|
| The ice under them is too weak
|
| Just to believe that somewhere, through summer and granite
|
| A verse by a Russian poet, someone's heart will keep |
