How can I live with this burden?.. ~ Как и жить мне с этой обузой?..
written by Anna Akhmatova
Translated by Richard Shaw, 2000. Link to further information


Shaw: Akhmatova:


 * * *

How can I live with this burden?
And yet they call her The Muse.
They say: "You and She by the meadow…"
They talk of "a Divine Murmur…"
She pulls you around worse than a fever,
Then for a whole year, not a word!

Publ. 1960. Transl. publ. 2000


 * * *

Как и жить мне с этой обузой?
А ещё называют музой.
Говорят: «Ты с ней на лугу…»
Говорят: «Божественный лепет…»
Жёстче, чем лихорадка, оттреплет,
И опять весь год ни гугу!

Опубл. 1960
