"Black tresses" (...a silvery-white thread has plaited into my black tresses...)

Anna Akhmatova

Kiedyż wplotła się w ciemny mój włos
Srebrnobiała przędza u czoła --
Tylko słowik, co stracił głos,
Taką mękę zrozumieć zdoła.

Jakże czuły natęża słuch
I na wierzby w gałązkach cienkich
Patrzy, cały zjeżony, bez tchu,
Cudzej pieśni chwytając dźwięki.

A tak mało minęło chwil,
Gdy topole ścichały smagłe,
I trująco szczęśliwy tryl
Dzwonił jeszcze w słowiczym gardle.

Translated from Russian to Polish by Wanda Grodzieńska

Original:

Как вплелась в мои темные косы
Серебристая нежная прядь, -
Только ты, соловей безголосый,
Эту муку сумеешь понять.

Чутким ухом далекое слышишь
И на тонкие ветки ракит,
Весь нахохлившись, смотришь - не дышишь.
Если песня чужая звучит.

А еще так недавно, недавно
Замирали вокруг тополя,
И звенела и пела отравно
Несказанная радость твоя.

1912

(Из сборника «Чётки»)

Alla Bajanova sings "folk version" of Anna Akhmatova's poem, important is that in original Russian text appears "tjomnye kosy" (not "chernye" -- it's not the same!) - as informed me kindly in the meantime Igor Loshchilov.
I must admit that in Polish translation there is also "ciemny warkocz" ("dark", not "black tress").

Worth looking in:
