Lonely White Sail by Lermontov-2.wmv

Lonely White Sail. Beleet parus odinokiy. The second attempt.
Just a home recording of me singing old Russian classic,
by Mikhail Lermontov. I had to re-record it, though..Could be too loud.
Here are the original text plus 3 translations.

----------
A lonely white sail
Is searching for something
In the blue fog
Of the wide Ocean.
--------------
What did it leave behind?
What it is looking for?
It is not looking for happiness
Neither it is fleeting any...
----------
With azure wave uder it,
And golden ray of Sun above,
This rebel soul is looking for a storm!
As if the storm can bring some rest....
.....
Serafima..2009
-----------
Белеет парус одинокий
В тумане моря голубом!...
Что ищет он в стране далекой?
Что кинул он в краю родном?
------
Играют волны - ветер свищет,
И мачта гнется и скрипит...
Увы, - он счастия не ищет
И не от счастия бежит!
-------
Под ним струя светлей лазури,
Над ним луч солнца золотой
А он, мятежный, просит бури,
Как будто в бурях есть покой!
-------
M. Lermontov.....1832
----------------

Another translations by someone who gave it a time and efforts:
----------------------------------------------------------
A sail gleams in foggy morning
A lonely stranger in the sea
What does it seek in country foreign,
What kind of trouble does it flee?
.......
The waves are swelling, wind is whistling
The mast is bending with a creak
It isn't happiness it's seeking
And not the happiness it flees
.............
The stream beneath as bright as azure
Above the Sun sends golden rays...
Rebellious one, it's seeking tempest
As if the storm will bring it rest.
..........

M. Mostov
....
And another one, from Internet:
.......
The sail is whitening alone
In blue obscurity of sea:
What did it leave in country own?
What does it want so far to see.
.........
The wind is strong, the mast is creaking,
The wave is playing with the wave ...
But not a fortune is it seeking,
Nor from this fortune is its way.
.........
By it a stream is bright as azure,
By beams of sun it's warmed and blessed
But it is? seeking gales as treasure,
As if the tempests give a rest.
