Икалось ли тебе, Наташа
Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG
Икалось ли тебе, Наташа,
Когда шампанское я пил
Различных вкусов, свойств и видов,
Разлучных возрастов и сил
Когда в воронежских подвалах
Я жадно поминал тебя,
Любя Наташу, поэтессу
Да и шампанское любя
Здесь бьёт кастальский ключ,
Питая небаснословною струёй;
Поэзия здесь вещь ручная;
Пять франков дай и пей, и пой

Did you think of me, Natasha
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
Did you think of me, Natasha,
when I drank champagne
of different tastes, qualities and varieties,
of different ages and strengths
When in the cellars of Voronezh
I greedily remembered you,
with love, Natasha the poetess
Yes and with love too my champagne
Here lies Castal's spring
Nourishing with its fabled stream;
Poetry here is a tame thing
Just give five francs and drink, and sing
