I don't have to say it out loud
because I will write it down!
And there it will stay forever!
So I don't have to say it out loud,
but to read it to you,
and to mean it...
So I say it out loud!
До свиданья, друг мой, без руки, без слова,
Не грусти и не печаль бровей,-
В этой жизни умирать не ново,
Но и жить, конечно, не новей."
(English Translation
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye.
My dear one, you are inside my chest.
This predestined parting
Promises a reunion ahead.
Goodbye, my friend, without a handshake, without a word,
Do not be sad or show sorrow with your eyebrows,
Dying is nothing new in this life,
But living, of course, isn't any newer.)
Sergej Aleksandrovic Jesenjin
