Бабочка

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: CHI

Ты прав: одним воздушным очертаньем
  Я так мила.
Весь бархат мой с его живым миганьем
  Лишь два крыла.

Не спрашивай, откуда появилась?
  Куда спешу?
Здесь на цветок я лёгкий опустилась
  И вот - дышу.

Надолго ли, без цели, без усилья
  Дышать хочу?
Вот-вот, сейчас, сверкнув, раскину крылья
  И улечу!

Add this translation to the Basket

然也：具有一个空中的轮廓
   多么讨喜。
我所有的天鹅绒都在闪烁
   唯有双翼。

请不要询问它是哪里飞过
   飞去何急？
在这朵花上我轻轻地下落
   在此呼吸。

无目的和努力的时间多长，
   你想呼吸？
现就这样，闪着光，展开翅膀
   我会飞离！
