Текст песни Поль Верлен - Посвещенье

You know, wise men have long dreamed
      (Although their task is hardly solved)
      In the language of heaven read the fate of people
      And everyone’s connection with his star,
      Vicious taunts were heard in response to them,
      Though often those were funny who laughed! ..
      But a terrible secret captivated my mind,
      I know who is born under the substance of a star
      Saturn yellow, so revered by the Magi,
      Fate threatens Tom with countless sorrows:
      His spirit will be embarrassed by an anxious dream,
      The powerless mind in him will fall silent before fate,
      And a poisonous, hot wave
      His blood will pour in a boiling stream);
      Longing, the ideal will fly to heaven
      And fate will command him forever to suffer,
      So that he even dies, tormented endlessly
      (After all, we can assume that nothing lasts forever here),
      Tom predicted by the influence of the spell from the age,
      Alas, the whole life of fate, ruthless and evil.
