That balalaika

Osbaldo 2022-03-21 09:02:10

We never try to cross any barriers.

We are willing to perish honestly.

We were on a white spring night,

In the wild, in the distance, in the jungle,

Sing like a nightingale on a branch.

Now the noise is over.

Before I step on the stage,

leaning against the giant pillar of the entrance,

Listen carefully to the echoes from everywhere,

Let the darkness of night drown me.

//

But I can still vaguely see the people who mourned me,

They sang "Eternal Rest",

Like singing for my mother back then.

The cold wind blows the dead leaves,

They fell into my grave.

The sound of the balalaika,

Still bright and fiery.

//

That's Lara!

My shyness, my intenseness.

My dodging, my stare.

The sunset in early autumn, the wilderness where the train gallops,

Sunflowers in a field hospital.

You are my boiling life itself.

When you read the poem I wrote for you,

You said,

This is clearly written by myself.

//

Yes.

You are the awakened me,

Let me rise above the mud and see the birds circling in the sky;

Because of you I love the coolness of snowflakes, the warmth of cellars,

Love the fragrance of earth and roots,

The home that love and Tonia work together from dawn to dusk.

//

Tonya, Sasha,

My beloved flesh and blood wife and children,

And Alexandrovich, the father-in-law,

We've been through so much separation that we can't be together until we die.

I had mistakenly recognized in the rush of fleeing the guerrillas,

Call for pursuit with the scream of the gossamer.

//

The world crumbles, the war horse loses its reins, the train turns over,

run over my poems,

I don't complain about that.

I just regret my medical skills,

But it was thrown at this earth-shaking piece of gauze.

I was born small,

Poems I sing with my soul,

Most of the tears in Yevgraf's eyes,

Slide over Little Tonia's balalaika.

    The restoration of the famous book is full, and the interpretation of human nature is in place.

    The doctor did not see his lover by the train window in his twilight years, and skipped the scene completely to "Meeting Hate Late"...

Doctor Zhivago quotes

  • Pasha: I used to admire your poetry.

    Zhivago: Thank you.

    Pasha: I shouldn't admire it now. I should find it absurdly personal. Don't you agree? Feelings, insights, affections... it's suddenly trivial now. You don't agree; you're wrong. The personal life is dead in Russia. History has killed it. I can see why you might hate me.

    Zhivago: I hate everything you say, but not enough to kill you for it.

  • Pasha: The private life is dead - for a man with any manhood.

    Zhivago: I saw some of your 'manhood' on the way at a place called Minsk.

    Pasha: They were selling horses to the Whites.

    Zhivago: It seems you've burnt the wrong village.

    Pasha: They always say that, and what does it matter? A village betrays us, a village is burned. The point's made.

    Zhivago: Your point - their village.
