Стихи: Дж.Р.Р.Толкиен, LotR 3:6, Арагорн (пер. В.Муpавьева)
Музыка: Потаня
Где ныне конь и конный?
Где рог его громко звучащий?
Где шлем его и кольчуга,
Где лик его горделивый?
Где сладкозвучная арфа
И костёр, высоко горящий?
Где весна, и зрелое лето,
И золотистая нива?
Отгремели горной грозою,
Отшумели степными ветрами,
Сгинули дни былые
В закатной тени за холмами.
С огнём отплясала радость,
И с дымом умчалось горе,
А невозвратное время
Не вернётся к нам из-за моря…
[ Оригинал ]
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
Lyrics: J.R.R. Tolkien, LotR 3: 6, Aragorn (translated by V. Muraviev)
Music: Sweat
Where are the horse and equestrian now?
Where is his loud horn?
Where is his helmet and chain mail,
Where is his proud face?
Where is the mellifluous harp
And a fire burning high?
Where is spring and mature summer,
And a golden cornfield?
Have died down with a mountain thunderstorm,
Rustled by the steppe winds,
The days of old are gone
In the shadows behind the hills
Joy danced with fire
And grief rushed away with smoke,
A non-return time
Will not return to us from across the sea ...
