If there are a thousand young men …
If there are a thousand young men
Who’ll be very glad to marry you,
You should know, dear, among them
Rasul Gamzatov will be found too.
If a hundred strong hot-blooded men
Have been always so charmed by you,
Rasul is no doubt among them
Keen on mountains and dwelling there too.
If there are ten truly loving men
Who are passionate and full of fire,
It’s clear that Rasul is among them
Grieving or rejoicing with desire.
If only one is so wild about you
Not waiting for your promises or doubts,
Be sure it’s Rasul Gamzatov too –
The dweller of the highlands touching clouds.
If there’s no man in love with you,
You are more sorrowful than any gloomy dusk,
It simply means Rasul has left you too.
He’s buried on the plateau under a basalt mask.
Rasul Gamzatov перевод с русского
