Стихотворение М. Лермонтова «Тучи» на английском языке
Тучи
Тучки небесные, вечные странники!
Степью лазурною, цепью жемчужною
Мчитесь вы, будто как я же, изгнанники
С милого севера в сторону южную.
Кто же вас гонит: судьбы ли решение?
Зависть ли тайная? злоба ль открытая?
Или на вас тяготит преступление?
Или друзей клевета ядовитая?
Нет, вам наскучили нивы бесплодные…
Чужды вам страсти и чужды страдания;
Вечно холодные, вечно свободные,
Нет у вас родины, нет вам изгнания…
1840
Михаил Лермонтов (1814-1841)
The Clouds
Clouds in the sky, you are ceaselessly wandering,
As pearly chains in the azure steppes glimmering,
Exiled as I have been, constantly hurrying
From native North into South you are quickening.
What drives you there: the command of your destiny?
Some secret jealousy? Or open wickedness?
Or crimes hang heavy on you or some mutiny?
Or your friends’ calumny is cruel and poisonous?
No, you were bored to death with these fields’ fruitlessness
With all these passions and alien misery,
Ice cold eternally, in steady idleness
You have no homeland and suffer no outlawry.
Mikhail Lermontov
translated by D. Smirnov-Sadovsky
Clouds
Clouds in the skies above, heavenly wanderers,
Long strings of snowy pearls stretched over azure plains!
Exiles like I, you rush farther and farther on,
Leaving my dear North, go distances measureless.
What drives you southward? Is’t envy that covertly
Prods you or malice whose arrows strike openly?
Destiny is it? A crime hanging over you?
Or friendship’s honeyed but poisonous calumny?
No! O’er those barren wastes heedlessly journeying,
Passion you know not or anguish or punishment;
Feeling you lack, you are free — free eternally,
You have no homeland, for you there’s no banishment.
Mikhail Lermontov
Translated by I.Zheleznova
