В душе у каждого из нас

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG

В душе у каждого из нас 
Журчит родник своей печали;
Из ближних стран, из дальной дали
Ея приливы пробегали 
В заветный миг, в блаженный час
В душе у каждого из нас.

Огнем страстей опалена 
Душа не верит упоенью,
Ни мимолетному влеченью,
Ни безконечному забвенью
Не покоряется она,
Огнем страстей опалена...

Моя любовь печаль моя,
В ней солнца свет, в ней мрак неволи,
В ней жизнь, в ней крик предсмертный боли,
В ней глубина паденья воли,
В ней путь к вершинам бытия,
Моя печаль любовь моя!...

Within the soul of every one of us

Language: English after the Russian (Русский)

Within the soul of every one of us
Murmurs a spring of our own sorrow;
From nearby lands, from far-far away
Its tides have flown 
In the sacred moment, in the hour of happiness
Within the soul of every one of us. 

Burnt by the fire of passions
The soul does not believe in ecstasy, 
Not to the fleeting fancy, 
Not to the eternal oblivion
It surrenders itself, 
Burnt by the fire of passions...

My love, the sorrow of mine, 
In it is the sunlight and darkness of captivity, 
Life and the cry of pain before death, 
In it is the depth of willpower's downfall, 
In it is the path to the pinnacles of being, 
My sorrow, the love of mine!...
