| Autumn breathes imperceptibly on trees and bushes -
|
| And from the wind and without the wind, sheets fall from them.
|
| And like an autumn leaf a star falls from the sky into the sea;
|
| She will not return to heaven, never return.
|
| And a waterfall is not like a leaf fall.
|
| He does not grieve, but rejoices where he falls;
|
| A waterfall is not a fall of leaves, a waterfall is not a starfall -
|
| He is cheerful from head to toe.
|
| Waterfall, fall to your heart's content! |
| You can fall, so as not to fall,
|
| And fall, so as not to fall and not to curse everything in the world.
|
| And the waterfall rumbles, and laughs out of place,
|
| As if he wants to fall into this abyss.
|
| The brook tends to the abyss - the formidable abyss of a patriot:
|
| Does the abyss need a pass? |
| Let him go ahead!
|
| But as soon as he overcomes the forbidden line -
|
| It will become stupefied, shallow, hide the pebbles in the mouth.
|
| And the waterfall, like a cheerful acrobat called for an encore,
|
| It flies, flies down from the ledge...
|
| A waterfall is not a fall of leaves, a waterfall is not a starfall -
|
| He is cheerful from head to toe.
|
| Waterfall, fall to your heart's content! |
| You can fall, so as not to fall,
|
| And fall, so as not to fall and not to curse everything in the world.
|
| ... And the waterfall rumbles, and the waterfall laughs, -
|
| The forces of life, the forces of happiness boil in him. |
