To God's Palace
In memory of V. Vysotsky


Feel no pity! Do not pardon! Drive them farther,--
Through the snow and slush!
From the flogging, from the ardor, muscles harden
And the haggard horses rush!

But the trail quickly coarsens, weather worsens
And you’re out of breath.
Be more lively! To God’s doorsteps, whip your horses
Or you’ll freeze to death!

Whip them faster, -- let blood boil! stir the soil
With their hoofs, with wheels!
Let them labor, let them toil! Blizzards coil,
Swirling through the fields!

Tracks are covered, all seems blurry! -- Lost in flurry
Of the foreign land!
Heaven’s opened, do not worry! Weave your story
To the very end!
