The letter to the Mother by Sergei Yesenin

Are you still alive, my old lady mother?

I am alive too. Greetings to you, greetings!

Let that unquenchable evening light  ether

Flow  over your hut  as shielding.

 

They write to me that you, hiding your anxiety,

Have become very sad about my poor fate,

That you often go to the road  a-lonely

In an old-fashioned shabby  habiliment.

 

And you, in the blue evening darkness,

Often see the same thing concern:

As if someone in a tavern fightess

Stuck a  sharp Puukko in my heart.

 

Never mind, my dear! Calm down. darling!

This is just a painful delirium.

I am not such a bitter drunkarder,

That I would die without seeing you.

 

I am still as tender obviously,

And I dream only of, know, that

From  the rebellious melancholy,

I will quickly return to our low hut.

 

I\'ll come back when our white garden

Spreads its branches at the pretty spring.

Just don\'t wake me up early dawn,

Like you did in twenty years since.

c

Do not wake up what was sometimes noted,

Don\'t worry about what didn\'t  became true, -

I had to experience  myself too early loss that

Maid me tiered and such fatigue.

 

And don’t teach me how to pray. No neither!

There is no return to the old. sight

You alone are my help and pleasure

.qYou alone are my unquenchable  light.

 

So forget about your own worries,

Do not be so sad about fate of  mine

Do not go so often on the road ways

In an old-fashioned shabby habiliment…
