* * *

I'm like a tightrope walker…

Where, why – no one understands.

To me – to be above the troubles – it is necessary to be high,

But everyday life does not raise high.

 

Taught to make do with little,

I'm still trying to touch eternity…

In my dream, my mother walks with me again.

And I, already in a dream, am afraid to wake up…

 

* * *

Я как канатоходец по канату…

Куда, зачем – никто не понимает.

Мне – чтобы выше бед – высоко надо,

Но будни высоко не поднимают.

 

Наученная обходиться малым,

Всё к вечности пытаюсь прикоснуться…

Во сне опять со мною ходит мама.

И я, уже во сне, боюсь проснуться…

* * *

Did not coincide in space and time…

Is it possible to put on life like a smile?

My distant, alien, warm me up

Even for a moment, even for an hour, even for a day!

 

Then I turn to the Almighty with a plea,

Then I rebel – nothing is the law!

My alien, impossible, hear me

In any of the Earth languages.

 

* * *

Не совпали в пространстве и времени…

Можно ль жизнь, как улыбку, надеть?

Мой далёкий, чужой, отогрей меня

Хоть на миг, хоть на час, хоть на день!

 

То с мольбой обращаюсь к Всевышнему,

То бунтую – ничто не закон!

Мой чужой, невозможный, услышь меня

На любом из земных языков.

* * *

We are in this sinister twilight,

Relying on faith in the Word,

Must save simple things –

Love and life.

 

* * *

Мы в этих сумерках зловещих,

На веру в Слово опершись,

Должны спасти простые вещи –

Любовь и жизнь.
