Текст песни Осип Мандельштам - Silentium

cheat. Alisa Brunovna Freundlich

She hasn't been born yet
She is both music and word
And therefore all living things
An unbreakable bond.

The seas of the chest breathe calmly,
But, like crazy, the day is bright.
And foam pale lilac
In a blue-black vessel.

May my lips find
Initial dumbness
Like a crystal note
What is pure from birth!

Stay foam, Aphrodite
And, word, return to music,
And, heart, hearts, be ashamed,
Merged from the fundamental principle of life!

1910, 1935
