Saga About Great Poet and Movie Star by Andrey Voznesenski

Ten years of secret relations, but he still couldn’t leave his wife.

You’ll awake me just at the dawn

To say me farewell, barefooted

You never forget me, I know;

You never see me above-grounded.

Having shielded you from the cold,

I will think: “God Almighty! (in vain).

I will never forget her! Yes, her!

I will never see her up again.”

This water, that in the Neva rugously,

These  Admiralty and the Stock Exchange,

I will  swear never forget  obvious

And will never see them again.

The hopeless brown cherries do not blink,

They are tearing up from the breeze.

Returning is a bad omen thing -

I will never see you again,alas.

Even if we return to earth rather

a second time, according to Hafiz,

Then we will not recognize  each other.

I will never see you again, miss.

And our with you misunderstanding

Will turn out to be so minimal tacit

In comparison with the future misunderstanding

of two living soles  with the lifeless void.

And a couple of phrases that flew from there

will sway fast in a meaningless height: 

“I will never forget you. at here

I will never see you again”!
