LYRICS
Zarí dogoráyushchey plámia
rassipalo po ñebu iskrï.
Skvozít luchezárñoye móre,
zatíh po doróge pribrézhnoy
bubénchikov góvor ñestróynïy.
Pogónshchikov zvonkaya péñia
v dremúchem lesú zaterialas.
F prozráchnom tumáñe
melknúla i skirls kriklívaha cháyka.
Kacháyetsa bélaya péna
u servo kámnia,
kak v liúlke zasnúvshïy rebionok.
Kak pérlï, rosï osvezhitelnoy kápli
povísli na lístyah káshtána;
i f kázhdoy rosínke trepéshchet
zari dogoráyushchey plámia.
Poem by Ya. Polonsky (translated by Vladimir Morosan)
The flame of the fast-fading sunset
has scattered its sparks ’cross the sky.
The radiant sea is transparent;
the dissonant clanging of cart bells
along the seaside highway falls silent.
The ringing songs of the muleteers
lose their way in the thick forest.
In the limpid fog a noisy seagull
flittered and disappeared.
The white sea-foam rocks to and fro
by the grey rocky shore,
like a sleeping child in a cradle.
Like pearls, the fresh drops of dew
hang on the leaves of the chestnut tree;
and in every droplet there shimmers
the flame of the fast-fading sunset.
