To Sergey Yesenin

Сыпь, гармоника. Скука... Скука...
Гармонист пальцы льет волной.
Пей со мной, паршивая сука,
Пей со мной.


So many thoughts were expressed by me
When I have read your talented great poems,
I feel myself enthusiastic and free
And I believe in force of your rhymes.

…White birches, winter, lovely night
Became more unique in my heart!
You teach me love my Motherland,
Admire beauties of glorious strand.

Oh, yes! I do believe in happiness!
Your verses give me steadfast strength
To love the Volga’s flowing streams,
The glaze of Lotus’ blossoming scenes

Deserted steppes, blowing winds,
Dogs’ barking, swan’s proud wings
Deliver me in thoughtful rings
The charm of all your blessed dreams.
Live long Yesenin!
Carry on poetic treasure for long and long!
