Бабочка

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: CHI

Жёлтокрылая бабочка, с детства знакомая,
Покачалась по ветру и села на мак.
Хоботком говорит: ,,Посмотрите, здесь дома я!``
,,Вам приветственный крыльями делаю знак.``

Покивала, сложила два стяга узорные,
И забылась в дремоте под жарким лучом.
О, как тягостны ночи людские и чёрные.
О, как больно душе, рассеченной мечом!

蝴蝶

Language: Chinese (中文) after the Russian (Русский)

这黄色翅膀的蝴蝶，从童年就熟悉，
她在风中摇晃，停落在罂粟花上。
用她的长吻说：“看哪看哪，我在家里！”
“给你发出一个信号用我翅膀。”
 
她点点头，收起两幅旗帜带有图案，
忘记了在炽热的光束下睡熟。
哦，人类黑色之夜是多么痛苦不堪。
哦，被剑斩断的灵魂多么痛苦！
