Михаил Юрьевич Лермонтов,
Das Segel

 

Михаил Юрьевич Лермонтов,
Sail

 
translated by Maximilian Schick   translated by A. Z. Foreman
 
Weiß glänzt auf blauer Wasserwüste   A sail drifts white and on its own
Ein Segel fern am Himmelsrand.   Amid the light blue ocean haze.
Was sucht es an der fremden Küste?   What does it seek in distant country?
Was ließ es an der Heimat Strand?   What made it leave its native bays?
 
Schrill pfeift der Wind, die Wellen schäumen,   Great billows play. High winds are whistling
Und knarrend biegt sich Mast und Spriet.   Down at the bending, creaking mast
Es jagt nicht nach des Glückes Träumen,   Oh! This one seeks no happy ending
Nicht Glück ist es, wovor es flieht.   And does not flee a happy past.
 
Hoch über ihm der Sonne Gluten,   Beneath, a brighter stream than azure.
Und unter ihm rauscht blau das Meer,   Above, the golden sunray flows
Doch trotzig sucht es Sturm und Fluten,   Yet this one, restive...quests for tempests
Als ob in Stürmen Ruhe wär'.   As if in tempests were repose.
