Vyacheslav Ivanov - Нарцисс / помпейская бронза (Nartsiss: pompeyskaya bronza) Лирицс транслатион то енглисх


Translation

Narcissus: A Pompeiian Bronze


Beautiful boy, like a faun here in loneliness roaming, who art thou?
Surely no child of the woods: thine is too prideful a face.
 
Music that moves in thy gait, the wrought grace of thy sumptuous sandal
Tell thou art son to the gods, or the high offspring of kings.
 
Poised, with thy listening limbs, thou hast followed the lips of the forest,
Harkening, bending thy head, fingering softly the sound.
 
Was it the piping of Pan or the amorous sighing of Echo?
Whisper of dryads, or words fluent-limbed naiads repeat?
 
Pressing thy thigh with thy arm, now the light shoulder-fleece like a garland
Thou hast entwined on thy wrist, thou, like Liæus at rest.
 
Wonderful, art thou in truth the gay Bacchus, Nysaean nymphs cherished,
Hunter, whom goddesses loved, naked and idle and young
 
Or art thou haughty Narcissus, whom secret sweet harmonies guided,
Wandering, languid with sleep, drunken, alone with his dream?
 
Go, seek the summoning nymph, oh thou blind, not yet knowing thy image,
Go thou, but dare not to bend over the slumbering wave.
 
Oh, if thou art not Narcissus, yet seeing thy face in the waters,—
Stranger, I tremble, anew, thou a Narcissus shalt be.
 
---
Translated by Babette Deutsch (1895–1982) and
Avrahm Yarmolinsky (1890–1975)

EMILIA • WRONG ADDRESS





An old story, you and I, once in love, a perfect tie.
We were happy, heart to heart, but now we’ve fallen apart.
I’m just a memory—get used to it!
Go to her now, let anger hit.
 

Run away, just leave me be.
I’ve had enough of your lies, you see.
You deserve to be alone in pain
No turning back—it’s all in vain.
 

At night, you’d call me, craving more.
With her, was it better than before?
My number’s gone, don’t try to find,
I’ve left it all behind.
 

When I was hurting, where did you stay?
With someone else, you chose to play.
Drink all you want—it won’t make me care.
Search for me, but I’m not there.
 

Remember the days I hid my tears?
Now you burn with the same fears.
Keep your words, they mean no more,
You killed the love we had before.

Heavenly clouds





Oh, heavenly clouds, eternal wanderers!
Over an azure steppe, a pearly brethren
Akin to myself, you travelers hasten
From the dear north to course southern.
 

Then who is exiling you: is it fate’s verdict?
Is it the envy concealed? Is it malice in the open?
Or is there a crime that levees a burden?
Could it be slander by friends that is poison?
 

No, you are fatigued by fields that stay barren…
Foreign are passions to you and the suffering alien
Always cold-bloodied, always independent,
You have no homeland, know not of banishment.

The solitary man of the night





The solitary man of the night, I am
The seal of silence upon my lips
I have departed, solitary and dejected
Severed my heart from the all
The loneliest of the lonely, sorrowful and disgraced
The one alone and without a tomorrow, that is me
The solitary man of the night, I am
The seal of silence upon my lips
 

The solitary man of the night, I am
Hundreds of untold stories linger on my lips
I have departed from your city
Packed my rucksack and left
Without the worry of tomorrow, with only myself, alone
The wanderer of these nights, that is who I am
Without the worry of tomorrow, with only myself, alone
The wanderer of these nights, that is who I am
 

The solitary man of the night, I am
The seal of silence upon my lips
The solitary man of the night, I am
Hundreds of untold stories linger on my lips
