The street at night, the lantern and the drugstore,
The meaningless and dusky light.
Another quarter century more -
All fall the same into your sight!
You died – as it’d been before –
You’d had the former way to start:
The street, the lantern and the drugstore,
And swelling canal in the night.
(ОРИГИНАЛ):
Ночь, улица, фонарь, аптека,
Бессмысленный и тусклый свет.
Живи еще хоть четверть века -
Все будет так. Исхода нет.
Умрешь - начнешь опять сначала
И повторится все, как встарь:
Ночь, ледяная рябь канала,
Аптека, улица, фонарь.

The Street At Night, The Lantern and the Drugstore,
The Meaningless and Dusky Light.
Another Quarter Century More -
ALL FALL THE SAME INTO YOUR SIGT!
You Died - As It'd Been Before
You'd Had The Former Way to Start:
The Street, The Lantern and The Drugstore,
And swelling canal in the night.
(ORIGINAL):
Night, street, lantern, pharmacy,
Meaningless and dull light.
Live even though a quarter of a century -
Everything will be so. There is no outcome.
Die - start again first
And everything will repeat as insert:
Night, ice ripple channel,
Pharmacy, street, lantern.
A. Blok.
