ENG English (Dmitri Smirnov)

Po nebu polunochi angel letel,
  I tikhuju pesnju on pel;
I mesjac, i zvezdy, i tuchi tolpoj
  Vnimali toj pesne svjatoj.

On pel o blazhenstve bezgreshnykh dukhov
  Pod kushchami rajskikh sadov;
O boge velikom on pel, i khvala 
  Jego nepritvorna byla.

On dushu mladuju v ob"jatijakh njos
  Dlja mira pechali i sljoz;
I zvuk jego pesni v dushe molodoj
  Ostalsja -- bez slov, no zhivoj.

I dolgo na svete tomilas' ona,
  Zhelanijem chudnym polna,
I [zvukov]1 nebes zamenit' ne mogli
  Jej skuchnyje pesni zemli.

Nikto mojim slovam ne vnemlet... ja odin.
Den' gasnet... krasnymi risujas' polosami,
Na zapad uklonilis' tuchi, i kamin
Treshchit peredo mnoj. -- Ja polon ves' mechtami,
O budushchem... i dni moji tolpoj
Odnoobraznoju prokhodjat predo mnoj,
I tshchetno ja ishchu smushchennymi ochami
Mezh nikh khot' den' odin, otmechennyj sud'boj!

Gornyje vershiny
Spjat vo t'me nochnoj.
Tikhije doliny
Polny svezhej mgloj.
Ne pylit doroga,
Ne drozhat listy.
Podozhdi nemnogo,
Otdokhnjosh' i ty.
