Прощай, немытая Россия, Farewell! - unwashed, indigent Russia,
Страна рабов, страна господ, The land of slaves, the state of lords,
И вы, мундиры голубые, And you, its navy-coated marshals,
И ты, им преданный народ. And you, their dedicated herds.
Быть может, за стеной Кавказа Perhaps, behind Caucasian ridges
Укроюсь от твоих пашей, I will be safe from your emirs,
От их всевидящего глаза, From their all-overseeing preachers,
От их всеслышащих ушей. From their all-overhearing ears.
Лермонтов-Прощай, немытая Россия - In English

Here is my English version for this poem, chose the word "impure"
Adieu!.. farewell, impure Russia...
http://stihi.ru/2025/09/19/4069
Adieu, farewell, impure Russia,
The land of slaves, the land of lords,
And thou, the legion of bluecoats,
And thou, a loyal to them crowd.
Might be, behind Caucasian wall
Would be away from thy bashaws,
Thy watchful eye,
All-hearing thine.
