ВЕСЕННЯЯ ГРОЗА

A Spring Thunderstorm

Люблю грозу в начале мая,
Когда весенний, первый гром,
Как бы резвяся и играя,
Грохочет в небе голубом.

I like thunderstorms in early May,
When the first spring thunder
Booms in the blue sky,
As if playing and frolicking.
 

 

Гремят раскаты молодые!
Вот дождик брызнул, пыль летит...
Повисли перлы дождевые,
И солнце нити золотит...

The young reverberations boom!
There, the rain started and the dust is flying...
The pearls of rain are hanging,
And the sun is gilding the threads...

С горы бежит поток проворный,
В лесу не молкнет птичий гам,
И гам лесной, и шум нагорный —
Все вторит весело громам...

A rapid stream rushes down from the mountains,
The birds' clamour in the forest never falls silent,
And the forest's clamour, and the noise on the mountains--
Everything merrily echoes the thunder...

Ты скажешь: ветреная Геба,
Кормя Зевесова орла,
Громокипящий кубок с неба,
Смеясь, на землю пролила!

You might say: the flighty Heba,
While feeding Zeus' eagle,
Laughing, spilled upon the earth from the sky
A thunder-boiling chalice!
