R. Gamzatov I have returned перевод с русского

A hundred years have already passed.
I have returned from darkness to the Earth.
I closed my eyes when saw bright light at last.
I’ve hardly recognized the planet at this birth.

But suddenly I hear green grass rustle,
Life-giving water quickly run in narrow streams,
The words “I love you ”sound tenderly despite the bustle
Still up-to-date and full of light like beams.

Well, a millennium is now left behind.
I’m here again on this long-living land.
All dear things that I had kept in mind
Are covered with the other time’s dense sand.

But sparkling stars grow dim in the same way
When dawn is coming being never late.
And people like in our time live day by day.
As well as we they fall in love and hate.

I’d left the Earth and have returned again.
And now behind my back is an eternity.
I guess all things were changing now and then.
The whole world is pierced through with novelty.

But winters are still white, it often snows.
The flowers gleam sleepily in planes.
From time to time the wind of quarrel blows.
And love exists as well as heavy rains.
