Original lyrics
Не плачь и не думай...
Не плачь и не думай:
Прошедшего - нет!
Приветственным шумом
Врывается свет.
Уснувши, ты умер
И утром воскрес,-
Смотри же без думы
На дали небес.
Что вечно - желанно,
Что горько - умрет...
Иди неустанно
Вперед и вперед.

Translation
Don't Cry And Don't Ponder...
Don't cry and don't ponder:
The past is no more!
As welcoming thunder
World breaks in with roar.
You died when asleep fell,
Arose with the dawn, -
Behold without thinking
Deep heavens foregone.
What's timeless is cherished,
What's bitter - will die...
Go on, unrelenting,
Go forward, defy!
Thanks! ❤ | ||

I realize that pressing "Thanks"
is really hard for most of you, yet
you should keep on trying...
