Пахнет гарью. Четыре недели

Пахнет гарью. Четыре недели
Торф сухой по болотам горит.
Даже птицы сегодня не пели,
И осина уже не дрожит.
Стало солнце немилостью Божьей,
Дождик с Пасхи полей не кропил.
Приходил одноногий прохожий
И один на дворе говорил:
"Сроки страшные близятся. Скоро
Станет тесно от свежих могил.
Ждите глада, и труса, и мора,
И затменья небесных светил.
Только нашей земли не разделит
На потеху себе супостат:
Богородица белый расстелет
Над скорбями великими плат".

Odeur de brûlé. Quatre semaines
Language: French (Français)  after the Russian (Русский)
Odeur de brûlé. Quatre semaines
Que les tourbières brûlent dans le feu des marais.
Aujourd'hui même les oiseaux ne chantent pas
Et le tremble ne tremble plus.
Le soleil montre le mécontentement de Dieu,
Depuis Pâques la pluie n'a pas arrosé les champs.
Un vagabond unijambiste est arrivé
Et a dit dans la cour :
« Des temps terribles arrivent. Bientôt
Les tombes fraîches seront partout.
Attendez-vous à la famine, à la panique et à la peste
Et à l'éclipse des étoiles du ciel.
Mais notre pays ne sera pas divisé
L'ennemi ne le pourra pas :
La vierge étendra son manteau blanc
Au-dessus de nos grandes douleurs. »
