*Another translation of V.Vysotsky
So there, the tremor left my hands
Now to the top
The fear has plunged into the depths
Now I won’t stop

No cause for rest, no time to ease
I skid, I screech
And in this world there are no peaks
That can’t be reached

Among the undiscovered paths
Let one be mine
The obstacles which weren’t passed
I’ll break with time

Those who fell short and sunk in waves
God be their judge!
Among obstructed, narrow lanes
There’s one I’ll trudge

From every side, the ocean raves
In rage unfolds
The mysteries of people’s names
It firmly holds

I see my dream, in full awareness
Above all else
I still believe in truth and fairness
Of words and depths

And let the lengthy time advance
I won’t forget
That here by will and not by chance
I’ve got ahead

I heard the water sing and pray
“Good luck to thee...”
And by the way, what was the day?
A Wednesday eve

Master...I really don't understand this, especially the last stanza- care to explain?

------------------
"Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage."
-Billy Corgan-

I'm sorry if you don't get this SysD, but I really can't explain my poetry, it makes sense to some and to some it doesn't. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
