Марина Цветаева «О слезы на глазах...» / O Tears in My Eyes, by Marina Tsvetaeva

«О слезы на глазах...»

О слезы на глазах!
Плач гнева и любви!
О Чехия в слезах!
Испания в крови!

O tears in my eyes!
The lament of fury and love!
O Czechia in tears!
Spain covered in blood!

О черная гора,
Затмившая – весь свет!
Пора – пора – пора
Творцу вернуть билет.

O the black mountain,
Which has eclipsed--the entire world!
It's time--it's time--it's time
To return the ticket to the Creator.

Отказываюсь – быть.
В Бедламе нелюдей
Отказываюсь – жить.
С волками площадей

I refuse--to be.
In the Bedlam of non-people
I refuse--to live.
With the wolves of the city squares

Отказываюсь – выть.
С акулами равнин
Отказываюсь плыть –
Вниз – по теченью спин.

I refuse--to howl.
With the sharks of the plains
I refuse to swim
Downstream--along the current of backs.

Не надо мне ни дыр
Ушных, ни вещих глаз.
На твой безумный мир
Ответ один – отказ.

I don't need either
Earholes, or the prophetic eyes.
To your insane world
There is only one answer--a refusal.
