| How the prophetic Oleg is now going
|
| Shield to nail on the gate,
|
| When suddenly a man runs up to him -
|
| And well, lisp something.
|
| Hey, prince, - says for no reason, -
|
| After all, you will accept death from your horse!
|
| But he was just about to go to you -
|
| Take revenge on the unreasonable Khazars,
|
| When suddenly the gray-haired magi came running,
|
| In addition, smashing with a fume, -
|
| And they say out of nowhere
|
| That he will accept death from his horse.
|
| Who are you, where did you come from? -
|
| The squad took up whips, -
|
| Drunk, old man - so go hang out,
|
| And there is no time to tell stories
|
| And to speak for no reason,
|
| That he will accept death from his horse!
|
| Well, in general, they did not take off their heads, -
|
| You can't joke with princes! -
|
| And for a long time the squad trampled the Magi
|
| With their bay horses:
|
| Look, they say all of a sudden,
|
| That he will accept death from his horse!
|
| And the prophetic Oleg bent his line,
|
| Yes, so that no one peeped, -
|
| He only once remembered the Magi,
|
| And then he chuckled sarcastically:
|
| Well, it’s necessary - to chat for no reason,
|
| That he will accept death from his horse!
|
| And here he is, my horse - has rested for centuries, -
|
| Only one skull remained!
|
| Oleg calmly laid his foot -
|
| And he died right there on the spot:
|
| An evil viper bit him -
|
| And he accepted death from his horse.
|
| ... Each Magi strives to punish, -
|
| And no - listen, right?
|
| Oleg would have listened - another shield
|
| I would have nailed to the gates of Tsaregrad.
|
| The Magi said something from this and that,
|
| That he will accept death from his horse! |
