Авторский перевод Рассвет Б. Л. Пастернака

Sunrise

Life was not possible without you.
Then came the war, the devastation,
There weren’t signs or knews about you
Time by created separation.
 
And after many, many years
Your voice has worried me again once.
Whole night by reading your last text,
Сame back to life as if from faint now.
 
Right in the crowd, to be with people,
That’s what I want. Their morning rush.
Ready to smash all things to pieces,
Bring everyone to knees and crash.
 
I'm running down the stairs and wince.
It's like I'm out for the first time.
My gaze was drawn to snowy streets
And extinct pavements, people without.
 
The lights and cosiness around,
All drinking tea, the trams are waiting,
Unrecognizable for me
The city's view a little later.
 
A blizzard’s knitting at the gate
The net of thickly falling flakes now,
And just to get there on time yet,
The hungry men running one as one.
 
I feel for them for all of them,
It's like I've been in their shoes and
Like snow I'm melting by myself
I myself frown like morning intent.
 
And there are people with no names,
Trees, children, staying-at-home with me.
I've been defeated by all of them,
And that's my only real victory.
