lyrics

Быстрым зверем в дубравах,
Змеем тонким в болотах,
Сонным утром в туманах
Раствориться на тропах.

Хладом живящим умыться росяным,
Грудью прижаться к холодной земле.
И вместе с Солнцем, с закатом багряным,
Тенью исчезнуть в нахмуренной мгле.

По мрачным дебрям путь далёк.
Куда они ведут… Не знамо.
Великий ли отпущен срок
Скитаться с дикими ветрами?

Далёкой птицы крик прощальный
За тучами в небе свинцовом,
Осенней ночи зов печальный
Да горе горькое стоном.

Резвым соколом с неба,
Волком прытким в чащобах,
Безлунной ночью туманной
Сгинуть на призрачных тропах
В вечность…

English translation:

The Eternity

It should be hasty beast in leafy grove,
It should be slim serpent in bogs,
It would be better to evanesce on paths
In sleepy foggy morning.

It’s so pleasant to bathe with fresh crisp dew,
To nestle close to cold soil,
To disappear into sullen mist with the Sun
On crimson sunset.

The trip through the somber wilds is long.
Cannot know where it will lead to…
How much time is given
To roam along with wildwinds?

Farewell cry of distant bird is wafted
From behind black clouds in leaden sky,
Doleful call of autumn night is here
And moan of bitter woe and grief.

It should be quick falcon from the sky,
It should be nimble wolf in thickets,
It would be better to vanish away
On shadowy paths in moonless foggy night
To eternity…
