Я полюбила Вас [Ya polyubila vas] [English translation]

Slowly but unhesitatingly gas

Was floating through the tired room

Not touching the eyes,

The ones you will hardly remember.

Pulse was beating irregularly,

Thoughts seemed to be naked.

Out of the gun sadness

Was pointing right into the head.

Lines were falling down,

Yardmen were swearing angrily.

I chose life

Standing on the windowsill.

In the sleepy morning hour,

The hour when everything melted away,

I fell in love with you,

Marina Tsvetaeva.
