Researcher for this text: Emily Ezust [Administrator]А я уже стою на подступах к чему-то, Что достаётся всем, но разною ценой... На этом корабле есть для меня каюта И ветер в парусах - и страшная минута Прощания с моей родной страной.

Translation of the title "Смерть" = "Mort"Et je suis debout au bord de quelque chose, Qui revient à tous, mais à des prix différents... Sur ce bateau il y a pour moi une cabine, Et du vent dans les voiles -- et la terrible minute De l'adieu à mon cher pays.
