by Wilhelm Küchelbeker (1797 - 1846)
Translation possibly by Wilhelm Küchelbeker (1797 - 1846)
О Делвиг, Делвиг!
Language: Russian (Русский)
О Дельвиг, Дельвиг! Что награда И дел высоких и стихов? Таланту что и где отрада Среди злодеев и глупцов? В руке суровой Ювенала Злодеям грозный быч свистит И краску гонит с их ланит. И власть тиранов задрожала. О Дельвиг, Дельвиг, что гоненья? Бессмертие равно удел И смелых вдохновенных дел И сладостного песнопеня! Так не умрёт и наш союз, Свободный, радостный и гордый! И в счастье и в несчастье твёрдый Союз любимцев вечных муз!

O Delwig, Delwig
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
O Delwig, Delwig! Wo bleibt der Lohn für edle Taten und Dichtungen? Worin liegt, was ist dei Freude am Talent zwischen Verbrechern und Narren? In Juvenals strenger Hand droht die gefürchtete Geißel den Schurken und raubt die Farbe aus ihren Wangen. Die Macht der Tyrannen erbebte. O Delwig, Delwig! Was zählt Verfolgung? Unsterblichkeit ist dennoch der Lohn tapferer und kühner Taten oder des süßen Gesangs! Daher wird unser Bund nie vergehen, stolz, freudig und frei! Und in Glück und Unglück bleibt fest der Bund der Freunde der unsterblichen Muse!
