МОЙ ДОМ

My recitation of "Moy Dom" ("My House") by Mikhail Lermontov, without the introduction or subtitles this time. (I made the other video a response to this one.)

Translation:

My house is wherever there is the arch of heaven,
Where only is heard the sound of singing.
Everyone in whom there is a spark of life, they live in it,
But for a poet it is not crowded.

As far as the highest star it roofward extends
And from one wall to the other
Is a long journey, which the one who lives there
Measures not with the sweep of his eyes but with his soul.

There is a sense of truth in the heart of a man,
A sacred eternal seed:
Space without boundary, the flow of centuries
It comprehends within a tiny moment.

And by the Almighty my beautiful house
Was constructed for the sake of that sense.
And I am condemned to suffer for a long time in it,
And in it only will I be at peace.

Pretty good, considering Russian is obviously not your native tongue. You were able to convey the spirit of the poem correctly, which in my mind is much more important, than just a proper pronunciation.
