Человеку надо мало/ A person doesn't need much

med_cat: (cat in dress)
Человеку надо мало:
чтоб искал
и находил.
Чтоб имелись для начала
Друг -
один
и враг -
один...
Человеку надо мало:
чтоб тропинка вдаль вела.
Чтоб жила на свете
мама.
Сколько нужно ей -
жила..

A person doesn't need much:
To seek
And to find.
To have, to begin with,
A friend--
Just one
And an enemy--
Just one.
A person doesn't need much:
A pathway leading far ahead.
A mother
Living in this world.
Living--for however long she needs...

Человеку надо мало:
после грома -
тишину.
Голубой клочок тумана.
Жизнь -
одну.
И смерть -
одну.
Утром свежую газету -
с Человечеством родство.
И всего одну планету:
Землю!
Только и всего.

A person needs very little:
after the thunder--
quiet.
A blue patch of fog.
A life--
just one.
And a death--
just one.
A fresh newspaper in the morning--
A connection to Humankind.
And just one planet:
Earth!
That's all.

И -
межзвездную дорогу
да мечту о скоростях.
Это, в сущности,-
немного.
Это, в общем-то,- пустяк.
Невеликая награда.
Невысокий пьедестал.
Человеку
мало
надо.
Лишь бы дома кто-то
ждал.

And--
an interstellar road
and a dream of high speeds.
All that, actually--
is not much.
All that, overall--is but a trifle.
Not a great reward.
Not a high pedestal.
A human
needs
very little.
As long as someone waits
for them at home.

Рождественский Роберт/ Robert Rozhdestvensky
