I Can Remember Time of Wonder By Alexander Pushkin

I can remember time of wonder
when you appeared before my eyes
like fleeting vision like a thunder,
pure queen of beauty and sunrise.

In tiresome longing of despair
in noisy troubles of ado
your tender voice was in my air
I saw sweet dreamings about you.

Years passed. A riot of rebellion 
dispelled these dreamings of the past
I heard your tender voice so seldom
Your skyey features almost passed.

In wilderness of gloomy prison
I spent my very quiet days
without a deity and reason
to cry, to live, to love, to blaze.

And soul awakened with the wonder
and you are here before my eyes
like fleeting vision, like a thunder,
pure queen of beauty and sunrise.

In ecstasy my heart left prison
I have my deity and your face
inspires me. That is the reason
to cry, to live, to love, to blaze.
