Заблудившийся трамвай The stray tram Шел я по улице незнакомой И вдруг услышал вороний грай, И звоны лютни, и дальние громы, Передо мною летел трамвай.
Walking an unfamiliar street, Of a sudden I heard ravens cawing And the sounds of lutes and distant thunder -
Как я вскочил на его подножку, Было загадкою для меня, В воздухе огненную дорожку Он оставлял и при свете дня.
In front of me a tram was flying. How I jumped onto the footplate Was a mystery to me, It scored the air with a trail of fire Even in the light of day.
Мчался он бурей темной, крылатой, Он заблудился в бездне времен… Остановите, вагоновожатый, Остановите сейчас вагон. Поздно. Уж мы обогнули стену, Мы проскочили сквозь рощу пальм, Через Неву, через Нил и Сену Мы прогремели по трем мостам. И, промелькнув у оконной рамы, Бросил нам вслед пытливый взгляд Нищий старик, — конечно тот самый, Что умер в Бейруте год назад. Где я? Так томно и так тревожно Сердце мое стучит в ответ: Видишь вокзал, на котором можно В Индию Духа купить билет?
Н. Гумилев
A dark winged storm, it rushed And lost its way in the abyss of time … Stop, conductor, stop The carriage right now. Too late. We had already turned the corner, shot through a grove of palms, Across the Neva, the Nile, the Seine, We thundered over three bridges. And, appearing briefly at a window, An old pauper threw us a look Of curiosity - of course, that very same who died in Beirut a year back. Where am I? Languid and troubled, My heart beats in reply: You see the station at which you can Buy a ticket to India of the Soul?
