Погоня (Mirdaf)

Хорошая земля, в которой мёд течёт по венам
Но кровь в ее реках как вода течёт.
Земля, в которой горы ¬медь,
Нервы ¬сталь.
Земля, у которой история погони,
Две тысячи и одна страница
Пока не сгорит
В скоре весь кислород в ее легких
От бега погони.
 
Земля за которой гонятся враги
А она её врагов будет преследовать в погоне.
Она своих врагов догонит, но ее враги,
Она не попадётся в их руки.
Она которая видит ее жизнь перед собой
Висячую как дрожащий лист.
Она боится,
Но как будто нe была совсем беспокойная
Она подождёт до конца погони.
 
Конец погони прячется в ущелье
И скрывает его лицо в укрытие, в укрытие,
Но он придет к своему концу, как солнце
Которое придет с Востока.
Tогда матери больше оплакивать не будут
Или сыновей отцы.
Tак, он придет
И наши ноги до тех пор не устанут
Гнаться по следам надежды.
 
Thanks!

Author's comments:

Sorry, I know I should write this message in Russian, but it would take about a year (and all of you know English better than I know Russian, right?)
Almost immediately after I have joined this site, I did translate into Russian a Hebrew song performed by Chava Alberstein. More than two years it waited for somebody to tell me that my (active) Russian simply stinks. Finally, my friend from this site, LenaPt, told me very delicately the truth. She found almost 20 lines in a song of less than 30 with various mistakes and non-Russian wording. She was so kind as to give me a solution to all of them. I thanked her and accepted with pleasure, but being me (a stubborn and a know all guy), I fully accepted about 15 only. The others I tried to correct according to my interpretation, and she bravely fought me all the way. Finally, we came to something that satisfied us both (more or less). Perhaps one or two still don’t sound Russian to you, it’s only my fault, definitely not hers (or just a typo, hopefully?). Anyhow, I just want to thank Lena for her help and coaching. And remember, all non-Russian “residues” are my fault only.

Hi Moshe,
It should just show you that comments come much cheaper than translations. We should find a way to be rewarded for comments in points instead of "likes". Then we could translate for free, just for the pure pleasure of it.
