lyrics

Eng:

I don’t know why do I always come back
To the place where the morning fog is hanging between branches
Where the death willow is taking from water
Petrified and forceful naked body
Like vellum scrolls the bark hangs down,
And the branches like bones from far centuries

It’s time for them to down and burn down
But she stays like a ghost above meadow

Don’t block up, you, illusion, lay into the ground
Let the sun resurrect in new sprouts
Let the lake to look into the grove –
Don’t bounce with bones in a living world

The willow reflecting dead rame
Creaked like a corncrake in grove
When the fierce frost comes, when the earth will die
Then You’ll look on my beauty

Locked up in the ice above lake
Look around on dark earth laws
So, it goes that the death has own truth
Death’s greatness rises from icy fetter
I don’t know why do I always come back
Where the hoary fog is spreading around
Perhaps I believe that the Sun will take a look from water
And Mistress of sorrow and lie will die

Original:

Мертва верба

Я не знаю, чому повертаю туди
Де висить між гілками ранковий туман,
Де змертвіла верба видимає з води
Скам’яніло–потужний оголений стан.
Мов пергаментні звої звисає кора,
А гілки — ніби кості з далеких століть.

Їм давно вже упасти й зотліти пора,
Та вона, ніби привид, над лугом стоїть.

Ой, не застуй, примаро,— у землю лягай,
Дай воскреснути сонцю в пагінні новім.
Хай в озерце оте задивляється гай —
Не хизуйся кістками у світі живім.

А верба, віддзеркаливши мертве гілля,
Заскрипіла, немовби деркач у гаю:
— Прийде лютий мороз, помертвіє земля
Отоді ти поглянеш на вроду мою.

Над озерцем, у кригу закованим,
Придивлявся до темних законів земних:
Тож виходить, у смерті є правда своя —
Її велич зростає із пут крижаних…
Я не знаю, чому повертаю туди
Де розсипався Iнеєм сивий туман.
Мабуть, вірю, що вигляне Сонце з води —
І впаде господиня смертей та оман.

Микола Руденко – 16.02.1974
