Александр Пушкин — Я помню море пред грозою: Стих	Alexander Pushkin – I remember the sea before the storm: Verse

	Translated by Bayard Barbara 03/14/2023

Я помню море пред грозою:	I remember the sea before a thunderstorm:
Как я завидовал волнам,	How I envied the waves
Бегущим бурной чередою С любовью лечь к ее ногам!	Running in a stormy succession Laying down at her feet with love!
Как я желал тогда с волнами	How I longed then with the waves
Коснуться милых ног устами!	To touch her dear feet with my lips!
Нет, никогда средь пылких дней	No, never in the midst of the ardent days
Кипящей младости моей	of my Boiling youth
Я не желал с таким мученьем	I did not want with such torment
Лобзать уста младых Армид,	To kiss the lips of the young Armides,
Иль розы пламенных ланит,	Or the roses of fiery cheeks,
Иль перси, полные томленьем;	Or a breast full of languor;
Нет, никогда порыв страстей	No, never did a rush of passions
Так не терзал души моей!	so tormented my soul!
