Our translations: ENG
Voz`mi na radost` iz moix ladonej Nemnogo solncza i nemnogo myoda, Kak nam veleli pchyoly' Persefony'. Ne otvyazat` neprikreplyonnoj lodki, Ne usly'xat` v mexa obutoj teni, Ne prevozmoch` v dremuchej zhizni straxa. Nam ostayutsya tol`ko pocelui, Moxnaty'e, kak malen`kie pchyoly', Chto umirayut, vy'letev iz ul`ya. Oni shurshat v prozrachny'x debryax nochi, Ix rodina — dremuchij les Tajgeta, Ix pishha — vremya, medunicza, myata. Voz`mi zh na radost` dikij moj podarok — Nevzrachnoe suxoe ozherel`e Iz myortvy'x pchyol, myod prevrativshix v solnce.
