Жить! будем жить!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG
Жить! будем жить!
И от судьбы возьмем хотя б одну весну,
хотя б одно мгновенье
без жалкой слабости раздумья и сомненья...
В неведомую даль свободные пойдём!
И если там могила и покой,
цветы увядшие и смолкшие желанья,
я вижу над собой весеннее сиянье...
Сегодня я живу, и день сегодня мой...

Live! We shall live!
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
Live! We shall live! And from Fate
Let us seize at least one spring,
At least one moment
free from the pitiful weakness of contemplation and uncertainty…
Let us go free into the unknown future!
And if there the grave and eternal rest await us,
Withered flowers and desires grown silent,
I see above me the radiance of Spring –
Today I live, and today is mine!
