J'étais sur le bord de quelque chose, Qui n'a pas de véritable nom... Un sommeil qui vous presse de venir, Une évasion de soi-même...

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.
