A golden grove has ceased at last its chatter
In a merry accent of its birches' tongue.
Afar, a flight of cranes, dejected, flutter,
No more lamenting over anyone.

Who to lament for? In this world, we're strangers:
Go by, come in and leave the house anon.
The gone are summoned up by but a hemp-close
And a harvest moon above a bluish pond.

I'm all alone amid a barren flatland.
A gust of wind is carrying cranes away.
It is my joyful youth that I'm intent on,
But nothing in the gone do I bewail.

I don't feel sorry for the years, squandered,
Or for a lilac thriving of my soul.
A fire of rowan berries, in the courtyard,
Is burning red albeit unable to warm.

The rowan berry clusters will not scorch, and
The grass won't perish from the yellow dry.
Like trees are slowly shedding their foliage,
So am I shedding doleful words of mine.

And if the time, when sweeping with an airflow,
Should grab them all in one unwanted lump,
Then say as follows... that a golden birch grove
Has ceased its chatter in a lovely tongue.

    Hello, thanks for your response.

    That's what we like to see the entreprenneurial spirit alive in modern Russia, whereas one would have thought that the beautiful melodies of the bubolic countryside and residing there, were not something one would want to give up.

    .

    How many currency-units, for me to be able to escape to the country, then please?

    .

    Cheers.

    from,

    del-boy.

    Thanks.

  • @klouns9 jeder Künstler hat Recht auf SEINE Interprtation; sei es kein Esenin ist. Aber Esen war auch sensibel

  • достали уже эти дрожащие голоски, ну пойте нормально.

    Есенин не был забитым гламурчиком

  • Great video...
