Monotonously the bell is sounding

Seite 2 von 2

Adnazv u tshno grem i t kalak o ltshik,

i dar o ga pýl i tsa slekhk a ,

i un ý lo po r o vnomu p o lyu

razliv a yetsa pyesn yamshtshik a .

Monotonously the little bell is sounding,

and the dust on the way is stirred up a bit,

and sadly over the plain field

flows the song of my coachman.

St o lko tsh u fstva v toi py e snye un ý loi,

st o lko tsh u fstva v napy e we radn o m,

schto v grudy i moy e y khl a dnoi, ast ý loi,

razgary e losya s e rtse agny o m.

There was so much feeling in this song,

so much feeling in the familiar tune,

that in my cool breast

my heart inflamed.

I prip o mnil ya n o tshi drug i ye

i rodn ý e paly a i lyes a ,

i na o tshi, davn o uzh sukh i ye,

nabyezh a la, kak i skra, slyez a .

And I recalled other nights,

and the fields, and the woods of my home,

and into my eyes which had been dry so long

a tear rose like a spark.

Adnazv u tshno grem i t kalak o ltshik,

izdal i otdav a yas slekhk a ,

i um o lk moi yamshtsh i k, a dar o ga

pr e do mnoi dalek a , dalek a .

Monotonously the little bell is sounding,

slightly echoing from afar,

and my coachman fell silent, but the way

in front of me is still so long, so long.

Comment:

The monotonous bell belongs to a troika – three horses side by side in front of a light coach – which is usually dashing along

the far Russian roads at such a speed that clouds of dust are stirred up. The little bell which is tinkling all the way keeps the horses

running, and the coachman has time enough to sing one of these soulful Russian folksongs.
