Осень

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: CHI ENG

Октябрь уж наступил -
уж роща отряхает
последние листы
с нагих своих ветвей;
дохнул осенный хлад -
дорога промерзает.
Журча ещё бежит
за мельницей ручей,
но пруд уже застыл;
сосед мой поспешает
в отъезжие поля
с охотою своей,
и страждут озими
от бешеной забавы, 
и будит лай собак
уснувшие дубравы.

Autumn

Language: English after the Russian (Русский)

Add this translation to the Basket | Add tr by D. Smirnov

October has come; 
the groves are shaking off 
The last remaining leaves 
from their naked branches.
There is a cold nip in the air; 
the Autumn road is frozen. 
Only the bubbling brook 
still flows past the mill, 
But a pond is covered with ice...
