Текст песни Шарль Бодлер - - Альбатрос

To have fun in the sad wanderings,
Gliding over the abyss of the seas, where the bitterness of tears,
Sailors catch wide-winged sea birds,
Their eternal companions, whose name is albatross.

Then, spread shamefully on deck,
Lapis lazuli proud king two white wings
Weeps helplessly, awkwardly and submissively,
As if two huge oars were stranded.

How pitiful you are now, O winged pilgrim!
Beautiful - a moment ago, you are nasty and ridiculous!
He sticks his shank into your bloody beak;
The other makes the crowd laugh: how are you, he limps.

Poet, here is your image! .. you are the king behind the clouds;
Laughing at the rainbow, you send the storm a challenge! -
Spread on the ground, booed by jesters,
You will not unfold your gigantic wings!
