~Translation N5~
.
Why?
.
I am sad, because I love you
And I know: the cunning persecution of rumour
Cannot spare your blossoming youth.
For every light or sweet moment
With tears and longing you will pay fate
I am sad... because you are happy.
.
-Mikhail Lermontov

~Translation N4~
.
Among worlds, in the glimmer of luminaries 
I repeat the name of One Star...
Not because I loved Her,
But because I languished with the others.
.
And if my doubt is heavy, 
From her alone I search for an answer,
Not because there is light from Her,
But because with Her I do not need light.
.

~Translation N3~
.
In the depths of the Siberian mines
Keep the proud patience,
Your sorrowful labor and high aspiration of thoughts
Will not come to naught.
.
Loyal sister to Misery,
Hope will awake vivacity and joy 
In the dark underground,
The desired time will arrive.
.
Love and friendship will reach you
Through the grim bolt,
As my free/unrestricted voice
Reaches into your hard burrow.
.
The heavy fetters will fall,
The dungeon will collapse
Freedom will receive you gladly at the entrance,
And brothers will deliver to you a sword.
.
-Alexander Pushkin

~Translation N2~
.
A swan is here, sighing deeply
She said: "Why are you far?
Know that your fate is near 
Indeed the tsarevna - it is I".
Here she is, wings flapping,
She flew above the waves
And ashore from above
She descended to the bushes,
She shuddered, she shook 
And a tsarevna she became (turned into)
.
-Alexander Pushkin

~Translation N1~
.
How difficult it is to walk among people
And pretend to be undeceased,
To narrate to the not yet living
The play of tragic passion.
.
Gazing into one's own nightmare,
To find order in the disorderly vortex of feelings,
So that through the pale glow of art
The ruinous fire of life will be known!
.
- Alexander Blok

Instagram post 2140164767271536947_4186811382 As a part of my goal towards Russian language mastery, I will be translating various Russian poems into English.
.
The purpose of this series is for me to:
~¤~
▪︎improve my understanding of advanced native Russian materials in smaller bites
▪︎assimilate Russian vocabulary naturally through reading and translating
▪︎refine my understanding and intuition towards nuances in the Russian language, including grammatical sentence structures and expressions
▪︎expose myself to native Russian literature and works for language skill expansion
