Б. Пастернак. Зимняя ночь. Пер. на англ

Игорь Скрягин
Мело, мело по всей земле
There was a storm of snow on land

Во все пределы.
In all its limits.

Свеча горела на столе,
A candle burned on table and

Свеча горела.
The candle keeped with.

Как летом роем мошкара
As in a summer midges' swarm

Летит на пламя,
Does move to fire,

Слетались хлопья со двора
Flakes streamed from yard like to their home,

К оконной раме.
At window flying.

Метель лепила на стекле
Snowstorm was sculpting on its glass

Кружки и стрелы.
Too circles and arrows.

Свеча горела на столе,
The candle burned on table just,

Свеча горела.
As if was Pharos.

На озаренный потолок
Illuminated ceiling was

Ложились тени,
In shadows covered,

Скрещенья рук, скрещенья ног,
That looked like arms and legs' some cross,

Судьбы скрещенья.
Some way to forward.

И падали два башмачка
And two shoes falling were on floor

Со стуком на пол.
With a soft clapping.

И воск слезами с ночника
And wax like tears the night light from

На платье капал.
On dress was dropping.

И все терялось в снежной мгле
All things were lost in snowy land,

Седой и белой.
Not knowing finish.

Свеча горела на столе,
A candle burned on table and

Свеча горела.
The candle keeped with.

На свечку дуло из угла,
A candle blowing was from side

И жар соблазна
And heat of lure

Вздымал, как ангел, два крыла
Did raise like angel its high flight

Крестообразно.
Being saint for sure.

Мело весь месяц в феврале
It's snowing wintertime whole month,

И то и дело
As if its business

Свеча горела на столе,
A candle burned on table once

Свеча горела.
The candle keeped with.
