# And boring and sad

Эмиль Шарафутдинов

Перевод стихотворения Лермонтова "И скучно и грустно" на английский язык.

And boring and sad, and none to be given a hand

When a minute of suffering comes...

Desires!.. what's the use of desiring vainly without a stand?..

While years pass by - all the best ones!


To love... whom again?... for a time - it is not worth the pains,

But to love for eternity no one could.

Shall you look in yourself? - of the past no vestige remains:

There all has been nothing, every joy, every wound...


What passions? - after all sooner or later their pleasant disease

At the voice of reason shall pass;

And life, just look round with cold attention - it is

Such an empty and silly farce...
