К КернKern
Я помню чудное мгновенье;I remember the marvelous moment;
Передо мной явилась ты,You appeared before me,
Как мимолётное виденье,Like a fleeting vision,
Как гений чистой красотыLike a genius of pure beauty
В Томленьях грусти безнадёжной,In the languor of hopeless sadness,
В тревогах шумной суеты,In the anxieties of noisy bustle,
Звучал мне долго голос нежныйA gentle voice sounded to me for a long time
И снились милые черты.And of sweet features I dreamed.
Шли годы. Бурь порыв мятежныйYears passed. Storms rebellious, impulse
Рассеял прежние мечты,Scattered former dreams,
И я забыл твой голос нежный,And I forgot your gentle voice,
Твои небесные черты.Your heavenly features.
В глуши, во мраке заточеньяIn the wilderness, in the darkness of confinement
Тянулись тихо дни моиMy days dragged on quietly
Без божества, без вдохновенья,Without a deity, without inspiration,
Без слёз, без жизни, без любви.Without tears, without life, without love.
Душе настало пробужденье:The soul has awakened:
И вот опять явилась ты,And here again you appeared,
Как мимолётное виденье,Like a fleeting vision,
Как гений чистой красоты.Like a genius of pure beauty.
И сердце бьется в упоенье,And the heart beats in rapture,
И для него воскресли вновьAnd for him resurrected again
И божество, и вдохновенье,And the deity, and inspiration,
И жизнь, и слёзы, и любовь.And life, and tears, and love.
