Michail Lermontov - Clouds

Clouds of heaven, perpetual wanderers!
Running away, refugees just like me,
Over the azure steppe, bound in pearly chain,
From my dear North to the South you flee.

Who is a-chasing  you:  was it a fate resolve?
Clandestine jealousy? Bare-faced spite?
Or, you are fleeing your casual lawlessness?
Or, you escape from a poisonous slime?

No, you are weary of desolate lowlands…
Being aloof of the passions and scourge;
Always cold-blooded, and always free-spirited,
Empty of birthplace, denied of refuge.
