Ivan Kotlyarevskiy: Translations

Translation from Ivan Kotlyarevsky Why is the water so much roily?- Hasn’t it been shook up by the wave? Why am I sad and not jolly, Hasn’t my mother chastised me to save? Yet, my mother didn’t trouce me- From my eyes, there pour th’ tears of bad, No matchmakers come from my sweetheart, But are sent from the unloved lad . Where’re you, dear? Take a look, See my anguish stand; Oh, fly over, my truelove,- They’re taking, now, my hand. Faster, darling, bring me off From the fierce misfortune: If I am to live with an unloved, I’d rather perish in a torture. Translator into English: Ivan Petryshyn Traduzione dal Ivan Kotliarevskij non e' l'onda che ha sbattuto il fiume ch'era trasparente? non e' la ragazza triste, infelice, perche' la mamma ha svegliato la sua mente? non mi ha battuto la mamma- le lacrime cadono da soli: non ci sono i sensali dal mio caro, arrivono i mezzani dal uno che non voglio. dove sei, mio tesoro? guarda- come io soffro; vieni, vieni, mio cuore,- un odioso uomo mi offron. sii veloce, caro, mi salva dalla sfortuna piu' grave: se dovessi vivere con un odioso, meglio perire con uno che amavi.
