Yevgeny Yevtushenko - Бабий яр (Babiy yar) versuri traducere în engleză

English

BABI YAR

Versions: #1
No monument stands over Babi Yar.
A steep cliff only, like the rudest headstone.
I am afraid.
Today, I am as old
As the entire Jewish race itself.
I see myself an ancient Israelite.
I wander o’er the roads of ancient Egypt
And here, upon the cross, I perish, tortured
And even now, I bear the marks of nails.
It seems to me that Dreyfus is myself.*1*
The Philistines betrayed me – and now judge.
I’m in a cage. Surrounded and trapped,
I’m persecuted, spat on, slandered, and
The dainty dollies in their Brussels frills
Squeal, as they stab umbrellas at my face.
I see myself a boy in Belostok*2*
Blood spills, and runs upon the floors,
The chiefs of bar and pub rage unimpeded
And reek of vodka and of onion, half and half.
I’m thrown back by a boot, I have no strength left,
In vain I beg the rabble of pogrom,
To jeers of Kill the Jews, and save our Russia!
My mother’s being beaten by a clerk.
O, Russia of my heart, I know that you
Are international, by inner nature.
But often those whose hands are steeped in filth
Abused your purest name, in name of hatred.
I know the kindness of my native land.
How vile, that without the slightest quiver
The antisemites have proclaimed themselves
The Union of the Russian People!
It seems to me that I am Anna Frank,
Transparent, as the thinnest branch in April,
And I’m in love, and have no need of phrases,
But only that we gaze into each other’s eyes.
How little one can see, or even sense!
Leaves are forbidden, so is sky,
But much is still allowed – very gently
In darkened rooms each other to embrace.
-They come!
-No, fear not – those are sounds
Of spring itself. She’s coming soon.
Quickly, your lips!
-They break the door!
-No, river ice is breaking…
Wild grasses rustle over Babi Yar,
The trees look sternly, as if passing judgement.
Here, silently, all screams, and, hat in hand,
I feel my hair changing shade to gray.
And I myself, like one long soundless scream
Above the thousands of thousands interred,
I’m every old man executed here,
As I am every child murdered here.
No fiber of my body will forget this.
May Internationale thunder and ring*3*
When, for all time, is buried and forgotten
The last of antisemites on this earth.
There is no Jewish blood that’s blood of mine,
But, hated with a passion that’s corrosive
Am I by antisemites like a Jew.
And that is why I call myself a Russian!

A Girl and a Colorful Autumn

It's the story of a girl and her colorful autumn
The girl is having a colorful autumn

Like the protagonist in the novel,
...I'm going to immerse myself in dreaming
Maybe I'll meet a wonderful boyfriend
It's my September's fantasy

I feel a strange feeling inside me
...a feeling of being attractive that courses through me
I'm sure I'll find a fancy love
Let's enjoy the journey step by step

Suddenly I feel like I become more beautiful
As the season's changing, I'll be born anew
It's the story of a girl and her colorful autumn
The girl is having a colorful autumn

The smell of the autumn breeze from the window...
...makes me a little sentimental
In the end, a beach romance is just a one-summer...
...blip in our memories

The me who could only stare from afar
...it's time to say goodbye to that shy girl
Let's mature up and become more honest with my feelings
I want to have my adventure and enjoy every process of it

The city is covered by dead leaves, everything's changing
I start to compose my secret poem in my heart
It's the story of a girl and her colorful autumn
The girl is having a colorful autumn

Suddenly I feel like I become more beautiful
As the season's changing, I'll be born anew
It's the story of a girl and her colorful autumn
The girl is having a colorful autumn

I loved you

I’m still awake.
We’re already getting closer to the morning.
Not even deep dreams
can get me off near you.
Maybe I’m afraid of.
If I’ll close my eyes
you’ll just disappear away.
This feeling goes along with me.

I already loved you
before we met.
And we fled into each other from the cold world.
I miss you.
Though you sleep next to me I miss you.
I already loved you
before we met.
How did we came up
at the same time and galaxy?
I miss you.
Though you sleep next to me I miss you.

Sometimes I feel like
you’re breathing for me.
And I’m not afraid of anything else than
you dying before me.
And me being left here alone (all alone).
I will find you again in every life.
It will be you always.
I promise that.
Because nothing
in this world weighs on my shoulder
when you touch.

I already loved you
before we met.
And we fled into each other from the cold world.
I miss you.
Though you sleep next to me I miss you.
I already loved you
before we met.
How did we came up
at the same time and galaxy?
I miss you.
Though you sleep next to me I miss you.

You can have my heart
while you promise to me
that if I fall asleep
you will still be there at morning.

Forever

Your touch is love, you’re a dream of beauty
You were always my desire, I prayed for you, and here you are.
It was hard to imagine, my hands tangled in your hair
Yet here you calm my soul, forever in my heart

With you, everything makes sense by your side, I learned love
This feeling I adore, for you I’d give my life
Forever feels too short when I’m with you
You’re my compass without you, all goes wrong

Our love’s a spell, obvious to all eyes
Every second they stare
Oh, Our separation leaves us parched
But for now, let’s cling to our name
Yet we’re like unfinished work
We are complete, and we won’t leave things half-done
We’re always together, always together, yeah!
In every crowd we step into, we reign
I’ll always believe I have you forever
Like the sun of the day and the moon of the night, both inseparable
No rival matches our taste, we’re one of a kind
Yeah, we don’t even notice where the minutes fly
I’ll always believe I have you forever
Like the sun of the day and the moon of the night, always together

Every second with you, I fall deeper in love
Your love fuels my fire, blazing wilder each day
If you are my uplifting wing, then I will accompany you to infinity
Closer than my own soul now we’re eternal, as one

With you, everything makes sense by your side, I learned love
This feeling I adore, for you I’d give my life
Forever feels too short when I’m with you
You’re my compass without you, all goes wrong
(All goes wrong, all goes wrong)
Without you, all goes wrong
(Without you, all goes wrong)

White Noise

The peaceful order,
A basic cloud,
White noise.
She looks,
He lies down
And yawns.

Do you see the moon?
Time for prunes.
It's coming, by the by.
To believe in the air
That combs our hair
And disintegrates.

And we let ourselves fall in the middle of a jump
And we empty ourselves of all that's important,
So we'll be so light that whatever we do is irrelevant.
And we avoid the orders issued by our minds,
We choose oblivion as an ideal plan
We remember so little, that what we are could be irrelevant.

The peaceful order,
A basic cloud,
White noise.
She inspires,
He looks at her
And they hold each other's hands.

Round letters,
Nothing disturbs us,
We don't need anything.
Deserted blossoms
Are expert
Sailors.

And we let ourselves fall in the middle of a jump
And we empty ourselves of all that's important,
So we'll be so light that whatever we do is irrelevant.
And we avoid the orders issued by our minds,
We choose oblivion as an ideal plan
We remember so little, that what we are could be irrelevant.
