Строфа 36

Игорь Скрягин
И так они старели оба.
And so they both were growing quite old.

И отворились наконец
And finally had opened once

Перед супругом двери гроба,
Before the husband doors of his tomb

И новый он приял венец.
And he had taken end at last.

Он умер в час перед обедом,
He died straight before a dinner,

Оплаканный своим соседом,
Was mourned by his wife and children,

Детьми и верною женой
His neighbor friends and others when

Чистосердечней, чем иной.
It was more frankly than did then.

Он был простой и добрый барин,
He was a simple and good barin,

И там, где прах его лежит,
And where his ashes was for good,

Надгробный памятник гласит:
A tombstone readable be could:

Смиренный грешник, Дмитрий Ларин,
«A humble sinner, Dmitry Larin,

Господний раб и бригадир,
A man of God and overman

Под камнем сим вкушает мир.
In his eternity last run».
