Невыносимая лёгкость бытия [Nevynosimaya lyogkostʹ bytiya] [English translation]

What is the question - this is the answer. What is the pain -

This is the rainbow

This is the rainbow

May the Lord be crucified, may the light

May the cloud

May the apple

A dandelion melts in an unknown glade

And in a grinning heart is maturing

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

Moles hum, moles swim in wet ground

Warm and sunny

Easy and sunny

The star is blinking, the star is singing, the star is burning -

Crazy news

The blind swallow

A fern dries on a wounded palm

And in the torn pharynx ripens

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

On empty fields, on dry seas

By native mud, by spring living water

On the earth's wilderness, on the celestial lies

By intoxicated longing and strait bandages

On stove ash, on rotten foliage

By holy breads and grinning traps

On my footprints, on my tears

By my own fault and by my own free blood.

Only one track on the whole earth

Only one path for you on

YOUR WHITE LIGHT

ALL YOUR WHITE LIGHT.

Past the evil winds, golden rains

Poisonous dawns and poisoned streams

Past magnificent phrases, past unnecessary us

Clockwork animals and rubber girlfriends

By sweaty foreheads, past full mouths

By greedy eyes and open arms

Through the steppe weeds, through the steel mist -

By pouring fire on the bluish blue.

Only one track on the whole earth

Only one path for you on

YOUR WHITE LIGHT

ALL YOUR WHITE LIGHT.

No tarry wood, no medicinal herbs

No crooked mirrors, no right angles

No prickly roses, no thunderstorms

No dense dreams, no garbage pits

No offense, no obstacles

No hardship, no snot

No sins, no gods

No fate, no hope

Only one track on the whole earth

Only one path for you on

YOUR WHITE LIGHT

ALL YOUR WHITE LIGHT.

The soldier was tired, the soldier fell asleep, the soldier was cold -

Hot stone

Scarlet peg

To whom - a medal, to whom - a crutch, to whom - a bed

Wheels spinning

Wheels roll, roll, roll away

On an abandoned planet

The bell runs cold

And in the charred sky is ripening

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING
