by Konstantin Simonov <br /> <br />Wait for me and I'll return, <br />Only please, do wait. <br />Wait when yellow autumn storm <br />Takes your joy away. <br />Wait while snow downfall, <br />Wait while summer heat. <br />Wait when no one at all <br />Was waiting, as you did. <br />Wait when letter faraway <br />Wouldn't come to you. <br />Wait when everybody fail <br />Wait together, true. <br /> <br />Wait for me and I'll return. <br />Don't be kind for those, <br />Who are violent to recall <br />That you need to lose. <br />Let believe both mother, son <br />That I ever passed. <br />Let the friends sit fire round, <br />Tired wait at last, <br />Let them drink the cup of wine <br />For the sake of soul. <br />Wait, but don't haste to join <br />Company although. <br /> <br />Wait for me and I'll return, <br />All the deaths despite. <br />Who'd not waited, then they'll talk - <br />That's the only luck. <br />Never they'll accept the thought, <br />Showing wait in vain, <br />That amongst the fire onslaught <br />You my life had saved. <br />And survival will be your's <br />Merit - know that - <br />You did really wait me so - <br />No one could wait. <br /> <br />1941<br /><br />Lyudmila31 Purgina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/k-simonov-wait-for-me-translation-rus/
