Борис Пастернак «Гамлет» на английском языке
Гамлет
Гул затих. Я вышел на подмостки.
Прислонясь к дверному косяку,
Я ловлю в далеком отголоске,
Что случится на моем веку.
На меня наставлен сумрак ночи
Тысячью биноклей на оси.
Если только можно, Aвва Oтче,
Чашу эту мимо пронеси.
Я люблю твой замысел упрямый
И играть согласен эту роль.
Но сейчас идет другая драма,
И на этот раз меня уволь.
Но продуман распорядок действий,
И неотвратим конец пути.
Я один, все тонет в фарисействе.
Жизнь прожить — не поле перейти.
Борис Пастернак (1890-1960)
Hamlet
The din dies down. I enter from the wings.
Leaning inside the doorway to the stage,
I try and catch an echo in the distance,
A sense of what shall happen in my age.
Thousands of theater glasses focus on me,
Turning on me the darkness of the night.
If it be in Thy power, Abba Father,
Pray let this cup of torment pass me by.
I love Thy high unwavering conception,
And have agreed to play this part as tasked.
But now another drama is unfolding.
So, just this once, release me from the cast.
But the whole plot has been already written
And journey’s end irrevocably marked.
I am alone. It all falls Pharisaic.
A mortal life is no walk in the park.
Boris Pasternak
Translated by A.Z. Foreman
Hamlet
Clamor dies. Against a jamb reclining
I step forth and stand upon the stage.
From the distant voices I’m divining
What will happen to me in this age.
Agony and night are nailed together
Through my heart by every gaping eye.
If you only please, dear Holy Father,
Would you let this chalice pass me by.
Of your stubborn will I am in amour
And this role I have agreed to play
But today will be another drama
And this time, please let me turn away.
All arranged is action and the kingdom
And the fate of everyone is sealed.
I’m alone. All drowns in Phariseedom.
To live life is not to cross a field.
Boris Pasternak (1890-1960)
