Dmitri Kedrin

* * *

Often I dream of a buckwheat blue flowers,

Lilacs on windowsill of my home.

Clear and bright, in the earliest hours

I see the sunrays appear and roam.

 

And I recall there a nag goes slowly,

A stork on the roof, and a stack in the barn.

Dark-so dark, so old, so lovely

I see the church near our farm.

 

Now I hear the song very dolefully

Mama sings me by the bed half asleep.

Narrow-narrow, running far twistingly

I see the road and grassland knee-deep.

 

Where is that home with a torn off shutters,

Room with a colorful carpet on a wall.

Lovable-lovable, long past that matters

My years of boyhood I fondly recall.

 

Все мне мерещится поле с гречихою,

В маленьком доме сирень на окне,

Ясное-ясное, тихое-тихое

Летнее утро мерещится мне.

 

Мне вспоминается кляча чубарая,

Аист на крыше, скирды на гумне,

Темная-темная, старая-старая

Церковка наша мерещится мне.

 

Чудится мне, будто песню печальную

 Мать надо мною поет в полусне,

Узкая-узкая, дальняя-дальняя

 В поле дорога мерещится мне.

 

Где ж этот дом с оторвавшейся ставнею,

Комната с пестрым ковром на стене...

Милое-милое, давнее-давнее

Детство мое вспоминается мне.
