Imagine whereof nowadays I bewail

Поэтический перевод произведения «Ты знаешь, о чём я сегодня жалею?»
автор исходника на русском языке – [Мудрый Кот]


Imagine whereof nowadays I bewail.
For wasting my time on the empty and zero,
On arguments, silly, where the egos prevail,
Where everyone tried to pretend like a hero.

Remember how proudly I fractured the limits,
Apart from the scale the resentments are causing
By words that in silence could vanish in minutes,
While there, out the window, the autumn’s deposing.

Imagine whereof nowadays I bewail.
That I didn’t hug, when you needed it mostly,
Passed off both a strong and unable to fail,
Enshrouded the life with the mute of the ghostly.

But time burns away empty screens unregarded.
In silence, like this, that between us impending,
I’ll cease to uncover wounds inwardly guarded.
When chasing the truth, all the meanings are ending.

Imagine whereof nowadays I bewail.
That it was too late this small inch to have gained:
We’re wiser in souls as our years set sail,
And what is important within is contained.

I took myself in, made the fortune a deal,
Replaced stations’ noise with a halcyon standing.
You know nowadays I am glad to keep real
A man showing you his complete understanding.
