Eugene Onegin

It means the following thing mainly:
We must all time all them caress,
Respect and love at heart, not less;
And by the people’s usual custom
On Christmas must we come to see;
To be the rest of year free
Congratulations are accustomed;
We them remind about us...

And all grandparents exclaim:
"But how years fly away!"

But people! all you are alike
Your ancestor, called Eve, foremother:
What’s given, hardly it involves,
But constantly the Dragon calls
To him for tree, mysterious rather:
Forbidden fruit to have you’d like,
Or Eden to itself’s unlike.

Opinion of the public mournful!
The spring of honour, idol last!
Yet does it whirl the world and us.

Such men (I’m first of them to blame)
From boredom dear friends became.

As well as trees can change the leaves
In early spring of every year.
You see, by skies its predestined:
You’ll fall in love once more and find…
You learn to rule yourself: I fear
Not any man can grasp such things;
Ignorance many troubles brings.

Khandra pursued him, always waiting,
It looked for him through all his life
Like own shade or loyal wife.

But yet coquette!
A giddy instance!
And. so cunny, she is gay.
Already’s able to betray!

With autumn skies were dayly breathing,
Not every day the sun was gleaming,
Each day was shorter at the noon,
The secret canopy of wood.
With grievous noise became all naked,
The tog was falling on the fields,
The caravan of crying geese
For south fleeted.
And unwaited
The time was coming, dull and hard:
November stood in front of yard.

Some string of love in her appeared,
In love affairs she was geared.

The love’s foregone, the muse appeared,
And clearer my mind became.

From early times he was dissembling,
Some hidden hope he could leave,
He pined away, he was dissuading.

My Moscow... in this lunation
For Russian heart too much is fused
And echoed in it through muse!

Now I know it is in your will to punish me with contempt.
