Неизвестный читатель (поэтический перевод стихотворения Елены Ковалёвой)

Елена Ковалёва "Неизвестный читатель"

(поэтический перевод)

I write this poem not for the press …

Perhaps it's the time to calm down already?

And to wound soul - it will suffice?!

To lay bare my heart before everybody?!

I don't know if anybody need it?!

Somebody accept it as bosh, somebody - with smile …

Don't you see I am looking so naive?!

I believe that my love will return some day!

But now I feel perplexed and sadly,

Banging out new "opus" in haste …

Please read it, I can't tell you that orally,

My arbiter - «the Unknown reader»!
