*And yet another one of my translations, this one is fresh and it's a poem by V. Vysotsky. The pretty ones are dearly loved and softly The funny ones are loved but for long The silent ones are loved, but not as often But if they’re loved, -- then oh how strong! Do not yell loving words, do not yell Hold them in until time is better Let the steamboats bugle like hell But you -- do not tell, do not tell If you hurry-- you’ll lose her forever. She often reads about love and woe Allow her to compare, -- just try to, Because the darker tulips grow To make the whiter ones seem brighter. Do not yell loving words, do not yell Hold them in until time is better Let the poets and rooks sing like hell But you -- do not tell, do not tell If you hurry-- you’ll lose her forever. The words are flowing... So what then? Although you’re late – there’s no regret! Say the words, -- you know that you can If they simply cannot not be said! Do not yell loving words, do not yell Hold them in until time is better Let the steamboats bugle like hell Do not scream, do not yell, do not tell If you hurry-- you’ll lose her forever. <!signature--> <font face="Arial, Verdana" size="1" color="#000080"> I will not whole die, My soul in sacred lyre, will outlive my dust and will escape decay, And in the moonlit sphere, my glory will not tire As long as poets still remain </font> [This message has been edited by Master (edited 04-08-2000).] |

yes, very beautiful poem. Umm, what are you translating it from? What language I mean? "Sa souvraya niende missian ye." \ I am lost in my own mind. Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great, And would suffice. -Robert Frost |

These are Russian translations. I was born in Russia and lived there for nine years so I can speak both languages fluently. Thank you for responding! |

ohhh, I absolutely LOVE the Russian language, in my opinion it is one of the most beatiful languages, I've got two Russian friends, and while I don't understand it, I love to listen to them speak in it. "Sa souvraya niende missian ye." \ I am lost in my own mind. Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great, And would suffice. -Robert Frost |
