Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Потусторонним
Залом цареи.
-- [Кто]1 непреклонный
Мраморный сей?
Столь величавый
В золоте барм?
-- Пушкинской славы
Жалкий жандарм.
Автора -- хаял,
Рукопись -- стриг.
Польского края --
Зверский мясник.
Зорче вглядися!
Не забывай:
Певтсоубийтся
Царь Николай
Первый!

Le poète et le tsar
Language: French (Français)  after the Russian (Русский)
Dans l'autre monde,
Le palais du Tsar...
Et qui est cet inflexible
En marbre ?
Si majestueux
Tout en or royal.
De la gloire de Pouchkine,
Le gendarme minable.
L'auteur -- le brime
Le manuscrit -- le déchire.
De la terre polonaise
Le brutal boucher !
Regardez bien !
Et n'oubliez pas :
Le tueur de poète
Le tsar Nicolas
Premier !
