Iz omuta zlogo i vjazkogo

Language: Russian

Iz omuta zlogo i vjazkogo,
Ja vyros, trostinkoj shursha,
I strastno, i tomno, i laskovo
Zapretnoju zhizn'ju dysha.
 
I niknu nikem ne zamechennyj,
V kholodnyj i topkij prijut,
Privetstvennym shelestom vstrechennyj
Korotkikh osennikh minut.
 
Ja schastliv zhestokoj obidoju
I v zhizni, pokhozhej na son,
Ja kazhdomu tajno zaviduju
I v kazhdogo tajno vljubljon.

I grew out of the evil muddy pool

Language: English

I grew out of the evil muddy pool,
Whispering like a reed,
Breathing passionately languidly and tenderly
The forbidden life,

And noticed by no one
I bend over into the cold and swampy refuge,
Welcomed by the rustle
Of the brief instants of the autumn.

I'm happy with the cruel assault,
And in this life that is like a dream
I envy everyone secretly
And am secretly in love with everyone.
