Жди меня. Перевод на английский

Перевод "Жди меня..." К.Симонова

Wait for me  - I’ll come again,
Just be longing for!
Wait through  boring yellow rain
Falling  ever more,

Wait through raging snow-storms
Or when heat’s utmost,
Wait while  others are forgotten,
In oblivion lost.

Wait despite no letters’ come
From remote place,
Wait when waiting makes all sick
Of the waiting case.

Wait for me  and  I’ll be back,
Don’t you please sustain
Those who know it for sure:
«Waiting is in vain».

Let my son and mother think
That I don’t exist,
Let my friends, of waiting tired,
Sit by mantelpiece,

Mourning over bitter wine
To my perished soul,
But you shall not drink with them -
Wait in spite of all.

Wait for me  and  I’ll return
From whichever hell.
‘Damn it! He’s a lucky guy’,
One can ever tell…

They can’t reckon, poor them,
How from  the fire
You have managed t’ rescue me,
Waiting with desire.

Only you and me aware
Of survival’s stealth:
Your ability to wait
As nobody’s else!..
