To Moscow! В Моськву!   22k   Переводы

This short story written in Russian by a Japanese student Endo Masashi in 1998 in Yeltsin`s Russia and first published in 2001 made a strange impression upon the Russian instructors in the University. The theme was quite new and not trivial, the foreign students drink, the Russian hooligans abuse them in the streets, etc. But later this short story was defined as an exotic Oriental flower of the modern Russian literature despite its irregular grammar, slips of the pen, moreover that short story was recognized as one of the best Russian literary works describing the hero of our time. Endo Masashi who learned in Tokyo and in Moscow is a specialist in the Russian literature. His short story was written in the Japanese Russian, it contains much humour, love of Russia and the Russian. `TO MOSCOW! TO MOSCOW!` relates to the Chekhovian traditions of the Russian literature. But the initial title of the short story that read as THE STROLLING ALONG MOSCOW had also something in common with the Russian poem and lyrics by Gennadiy Shpalikov set to music by Andrey Petrov for the motion picture of 1963 `I am strolling along the Moscow streets`. The hero of our time is also a pure Russian motif originating from the Mikhail Lermontov`s same name novel. But that very Russian `hero of our time` (late 90s of the 20th c.) in the short story is a Japanese teenager. No doubt, there`s a gap between the literary character and the author of the story, it`s une œuvre littéraire indeed rather than non-fiction or journalism. There exist also allusions to The Catcher in the Rye and A Clockwork Orange. The description method is that of a bildungsroman.

A propos, the irregular grammar, etc. of the English translation imitates the Russian writings of a foreign student. Strictly speaking, it`s a literary device, a trope too.

  STILL NIGHT, FRIGHT NIGHT DOUCE NUIT, NUIT DE LA PEUR 平安夜,恐怖夜 The couplets `Still nights in the wood` https://youtu.be/4xea_G8PJFc are sung to the tune of an old Russian waltz `On the hills of Manzhuria` https://youtu.be/sQz3HRpGz6s (On the hills of Manchuria` by Ilya Shatrov. Performed by the Russia`s Defence Ministry Central Military Band. Conductor Andrei Kolotushkin).

  

  Many favourite, excellent songs often cast their not always printable shadows. This shadow, their informal unprintable versions and covers, removes the patina of affectedness from the masterpieces which not rarely become victims of the bombastic officiality. It"s the people (not `people`) who invent the `bad` versions of the evergreen works of art. Most often it"s the children"s and teenagers` informal folklore that accompanies a person during the lifetime, and from time to time is remembered and mentioned in a different situations.

  

  But this very fact does not spoil and doesn"t do any harm to the beautiful originals. Just imagine, a tough guy has been moved by a melody but he can"t afford to sob like a dame, and to conceal his real feelings at parties, when he"s around, he would rather quote something unprintable, vulgar but funny and classical in connection with the performed music. This healthy `cynicism` prevents the theatrics. Shadow lyrics are sometimes the congenial masterpieces in spite of their vulgarity. The mediocre works don"t cast the vulgar shadows. The shadow is not a parody, mocking though it"s funny (ha-ha!). It"s a psychological defense and a good way to relax. Listen also to The Peanuts (ザ・ピーナッツ) sisters https://youtu.be/U7smeXaoKEY

Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin Сергей Александрович Есенин   13k   Переводы

SERGEI ALEXANDROVICH YESENIN (1895-1925) The No 1 of the Russian poetry of the 20 c., one of the greatest poets of the Russian literature comparable only with Alexandre Pushkin. Besides, he is often presented in a rather lop-sided way as a singer of wooden Russia, Russian village and peasants (as well as Leo Tolstoy). They were in some sense though not all the way. By the way, Sergey Yesenin, one of the Russianest of the Russian poets though he liked to be jocularly addressed `Sergey Duncan`, was one of the Baudelaire`s Russian literary grandson. Baudelaire played the same part in the history of the so called Silver Age of the Russian Poetry that Lord Byron had played during its Golden Age in the 19th c.

Стихотворение:

`i am going out on the road` by Mikhail Lermonov. М.Ю. Лермонтов "Выхожу один я на дорогу"   6k   Переводы

`Once in presence of Irakliy Luarsabovich Andronikov I called a popular poet a genius. He immediately objected: `He`s too complicated to be considered a genius. All great is simple and clear. It is `I am going out on the road ...` that`s great. That sort of poems seems to contain nothing, but they include all: solitude, Universe, road ... `Night is still. The waste attends Sabaoth`. (from the Memoirs by Anatoly Alexin) (Irakly Andronikov was a leading Lermontov expert in Russia in the 20c.).

`I am going out on the road ...` By M. Yu. Lermontov recited by Mr. Artyom Pir-Budagyan (Armenia) https://youtu.be/ckExkRNaobA

The poem by Lermontov `I am going out on the road` was put to music several times, by Piotr Bulakhov (1854), Konstantin Vilboa (1857), N. Chrztianowicz (1875), K. Davydov, Nikolai Ogaryov, N. Dmitriyev. Yet the most popular variant composed in 1861 belongs to Elizaveta (Elisabeth) Shashina (1805-1903).

Mikołaj Rej or Mikołaj Rey of Nagłowice (1505-1569) was a Polish poet and writer of the Renaissance in Poland, as well as a politician and musician. He was the first Polish author to write exclusively in the Polish language, and is considered (with Biernat of Lublin and Jan Kochanowski), to be one of the founders of Polish literary language and literature. The Russian translator of the poem is Assar Isayevich Eppel (Асар Исаевич Эппель (1935-2012)), an outstanding Russian translator of the Polish poetry and prose and a remarkable poet and writer of the excellent original prose. The oral works of the urban folklore, poems, songs, funny stories of a Russian city were just `the excellent witnesses` of time for him, and they were being transformed into the facts of the lofty, even tragic poetry in his own books. It was a right and natural approach. It answers the cultural traditions of the Eastern Roman Empire also known as Russia. Besides the arse is a not rare work of art unless the work of art is the arse. We oughtn`t to mix up arse for art`s sake with art for arse`s sake, i.e, arse house.

Dandy & Didelot   4k   Переводы

In the Stance XXI of the 1st Chapter of the `Eugene Onegin` Alexandre Pushkin depicts the exact morals and manners of his time. The democratic public claps demanding to start the show. As to gentlemen the then theatrical good tone (bon ton) required to enter the hall at the last minute. The very appearance of gentlemen required the performance of etiquette: exchange of greetings, ritual of bows and conversations. People stood in the stalls, there were just several rows of seats for the High Society men. Ladies were only in the boxes. Onegin forced through twixt the rows which was a deliberate demonstration of the shocking negligence and impudence permitted to the young dandies and rakes. Besides, they had to simulate myopia and use opera glasess. It was not quite appropriate for gentlemen to look at people through the lenses, to lornette them, especially to examine young ladies and it was twice as inappropriate to look at people askance. It could be a pretext for a challenge. But Onegin was a rake and dandy and behaved according to the unwritten rules. The young men of that stratum were also required to express indifference and coolness. They copycatted `byrons`, `childe harolds`. The were all Anglophiles. However, Pushkin who was a replica of Onegin in the described time did not agree with him in his attitude towards Didelot. In his commentary to his novel in verse the author explained his hero`s behaviour like this: `A trait of a damped down temper worthy of Childe Harold. Mr. Didelot`s ballets are filled with a lively imagination and extraordinary delights. One of our romantic writers considered them to contain much more Poetry than all French literature does`. The common mistake of all English-speaking translators of Pushkin is their intention to use an excess of the lexical wealth of the language. But Pushkin was a poet who could get the highly-artistic results with the use of very simple expressive means of language and colloquial speech of his time. He was one of the main creators of the modern Russian language. While writing his `Onegin` he was being transformed from a romanticist into a psychological realist. And `simplicity`, economy on expressive means of language when tropes and lexical abundance were not required psychologically was his deliberate choice and aesthetic principle.

HEARTBRREAKING IDA Boris Pasternak fell in love for the first time rather late when he was 20 years old. He fell in love with Ida Wissotzkaya, the daughter of a wealthy Moscow merchant. It was love at first sight. The parents sent Ida to learn abroad. By that reason Pasternak asked his parents also to send him to learn in Germany. He declared his love in Marburg and was refused. Later he wrote the same name famous poem dedicated to Ida. In 1913 Boris Pasternak transformed his love into the yellow-purple tints of autumn in another poem of his `The Dream`. As to Ida Wissotzkaya, she was a daughter of the Wissotzky Tea Co.`s owner who was an exclusive supplier of the Russian Royal Court. That Russian tea company was the largest in the world that time. After leaving the Russian classical school Ida learned in England, in Cambridge. She was infatuated with Shakespeare as it was obvious from her letters to Pasternak. Although a Jewish girl, she was a tall blonde. Later she married a banker Feldzer and died in 1979. By then the company of her late father, David Wissotzky, became the leading tea company in Israel. Of course, there was an abyss between Boris and Ida in a financial respect. Ida considered him a prospective friend for any chance; she could never expect that he would become a world-famous poet. Did she regret her refusal? Hardly ever. Poetry is poetry, but life is life.

Joaquin Maria Bartrina y de Aixemus (Хоакин Мария Бартрина)(Реус, 1850 - Барселона, 1880)- двуязычный испано-каталонский поэт и драматург, предшественник испанского литературного авангарда. Чудак Бартрина хотел примирить физику и лирику. Он выдумывал и вставлял в стихи странные формулы: C=pir2! Но анализ не приносил счастья и полноты, поэт отчаялся и разочаровался в анализе, и написал замечательное стихотворение-басню, последние строки которого стали афоризмом в испаноязычном мире и в Альбионе: " If you want to be happy, as you say to me,/you do not analyze, boy, not analyze".

Yaroslav Smelyakov was a `small` classical poet of Russia. His poetic career and success reached their climax in the 60s of the 20c. The youth of that time accepted him as one of their mouthpieces despite he belonged to the generation of their parents. Yevgeniy Yevtushenko, #1 in the Russian poetry of the 2nd part of the 20 c., rather impudently, but quite exactly described Yara as his immediate forerunner and called him `Yevgeniy Yevtushenko of the 30s of the 20 c.` Yaroslav Smelyakov recites his own poem "Хорошая девочка Лида" (rare record of the 50s): https://youtu.be/uvZpACnAb9s

Personally, I find his poems very amusing and entertaining. Julien Stebeau is an Indie poet from Magnitogorsk, Siberia born as Andrei Yevgeniyevich Mantel in 1965. Mr. Mantel is a physician by profession. Strictly speaking, he is Doc Mantel (Docteur Manteau). As a gifted humorous poet Julien Stebeau is more interesting than an andrei yevgeniyevich. There are one million of dull and ageing andreiyevgeniyevichs in Russia, i.e, persons satisfied with their own lives, wives, shish kebabs and themselves (my sincere congrats!), but there`s only one Julien Stebeau the poet, an unaging, daredevil and joyful youngster. No doubt, I like the latter one best! This is a case when schizophrenia, double identity of a single personality, is only welcome.

Kenzelle by Igor` Severyanin   10k   Переводы

Igor Vasiliyevich Shenshin-Lotaryov (1887-1941)(penname Igor Severianin) is a poet of the Silver Age of the Russian poetry (first decades of the 20 c. before the Revolution).

Igor Severianin preferred to write his pen name like Igor the Severianin (lit. Igor the Northener) but it never took on, all considered `Severianin` to have been his real family name. He sided with the literary group of futurists led by Vladimir Mayakovsky. Mayakovsky used to taunt him for his style which was defined as `ego-futurism`. Even among the ego-futurists the poet was very special, seemed very funny for them, and was often laughed at. They must have envied his bankable success and tremendous popularity if not his fame.

Severianin became an All-Russia`s celebrity quite occasionally, Feodor Sollogub, one of the Russian minor classical poets, gathered the poems of unknown Severianin and had them printed just for fun, to amuse the reading public with the `foolish` verses. Lev Tolstoy read the collection of those poems and showed his rage and fury. As a result Severianin became a literary star overnight! `Jupiter, you are angry, therefore you are wrong!`

It was a formidable success! He satisfied the intimate desires of the educated readership. Like other futurists Severianin used to intendedly `broaden` the language, invented new words, new word stresses, widely used French vocabulary, he was afraid of writing `primitively, without the new metaphors and words`. He liked `beautiful` words. He wanted people to read his poems and feel almost physical, sensual pleasure and delight. Despite his form and content experiments, neologisms, occasionalisms, his poetry is very natural, it`s bizzare but easily understanable, not artificial at all. No doubt Severianin is now a classical poet.

Kenzelle is an Igor Severianin original poetic verse of 15 lines being usually divided into three five-line stanzas where the first line repeats itself as the 8th one (the central one) and the 15th (the final one) to create the `reflectivity` of the verse. Later this verse was often used by Andrei Voznesensky.

Unlike many poets he paid much, if not special attention to the clothes in his poetry.

Moire dress is a rustling watered silk frock.

Watered silk, moire, tabby are names of the same tissue. Also tabby is a tabby cat with mottled fir like that of a jaguar.

Talma is is an article of ladies` wear of the XIX-early XX cc. - loose sleeveless mantle named after François-Joseph Talma (stressed is the last syllable), the great French actor and its creator (1763-1826).

Mackintosh cloak is a waterproof raincoat made of rubberized cloth invented by Charles Macintosh (1766-1865) in 1823.

Agniya (ἁγνὴ) Lvovna Barteaux (born Ethel Leibovna Volova (1906-1981)) was an outstanding Russian children`s author, satirist, excellent screenwriter, influential presenter. She was born in a Jewish family before the Russian revolution.

After leaving the classical and ballet schools she performed as a ballerina, wrote poems which were made a special mention by minister of culture Anatoly Lunacharsky, then married an ornithologist and children`s poet Pavel Barteaux and dedicated all her life to the Russian literature. What can be said about her classical poems and creative manner? She thought clearly and she wrote clearly. During the WW2 she worked as a turner in the Urals and was a military reporter on the frontline. She lost her 18 year old son after the war who was damaged by a lorry when he was riding his bycicle. She had been leading the program on the radio `Mayak` for many years. The program helped to re-unite the families whose children were lost during the war (after Luftwaffe`s train bombings, in particular).

She was married to a Russian scientist Andrei Shchegliyaev for the second time and had a daughter.

She was buried in the élite cemetery of the Novodevichiy Monastery that speaks a lot about her achievements and services to her country.

Pouchkine Succomba Par Louis d`anthès   6k   Переводы

Alexandre Pushkin is a great Ruissian poet. To be be exact, the greatest one. Yet he was a famous bedhopper, and as every single male slut he was morbidly jealous. He was killed by a Horse Guardsman, young French man Georges d'Anthès whom Pushkin after receiving an anonymous abusive letter challenged to a duel https://youtu.be/_4gQvDjVKEc Georges d'Anthès was a bridegroom of his wife`s sister at the moment of the duel. Despite this Pushkin imagined d'Anthès had tried to seduce his wife Natalie.

As a man Pushkin must have suffered from the complex of inferiority. Pushkin was elder, 37 years old, just 166 cm tall and dark-skinned while Georges d'Anthès was a very tall blonde guy about 20 years old.

In his youth Pushkin would seduce the batallions of the married ladies, but he couldn`t bear an idea of having been a cuckold himself. By the way, he wasn`t. He preferred Hormony to Harmony and died in vain, though in his youth he was warned by a gipsy fortune teller to avoid conflicts with le grand blond (see `Le grand blond massacre Mozart et Brahms` https://youtu.be/uexGhKoG4WM).

The descendants of Pushkin sometimes meet one another in Russia, but they refuse to forgive Georges d'Anthès, IMHO, in vain. In any case they are all one big family, the Pushkins-d`Anthèses. Their feud, their strife reminding of that of d'Capuleti and Montecchi is senseless. All in all, there are 240 descendants of Pushkin in the world. None is a poet or poetess unlike the descendants of Georges d'Anthès.

After the duel Georges d'Anthès came back to France with his wife Ekaterina, Pushkin widows`s sister and many years later he became a Senator. His daughter was a poetess and philologist specializing in ... Pushkin. His grandgrandson French Baron Louis de Heeckeren d'Anthès, an owner of the waste incineration plant, is a poet too. He lives in the same estate to where Georges d'Anthès returned from France. The Baron had a book of poems issued. He was illustrated by his own pictures. The first poem is dedicated to the duel. It explains the version of the d'Anthès` side, their view-pont of reasons of the fatal conflict. A propos. On his deathbed Pushkin forgave his brother-in-law. The fact which is still being widely igonored. The real killers of the poet were neither High Society nor his own brother-in-law but, if to judge by the grammar mistakes of the abusing letter (`The Certificate of a Cuckold`) written in French, his Russian enemies, people of not noble birth, probably, irritated by the then Pushkin`s wife ardour for Catholicism. The case needs a new objective re-investigation.

The Sweet Beauties Of Russia Милые Красавицы России   4k   Переводы

In 1945 Yara wrote a poem `Sweet Beauties of Russia` ("Милые красавицы России") where he expressed his gratitude to all the women of the USSR who sacrificed everything to victory. Yeah, he was a true gentleman, and he never joined men who several times after the war attempted to defame the female participation in the war. He was well aware of women"s contribution and said that men had owed a lot to them and must recoup their losses. Speaking for all men in his poem he promised to dress the postwar females with mink, lodge them in palaces, and sing them in poems full of adoration and admiration. And he really sang them in his poems. Yaroslav Smelyakov - The sweet beauties of Russia. Recited by Anastasiya Gulina, 17, Novokuznetsk, Kemerovskaya region, Siberia https://youtu.be/EYbtIuR-NTc

Taffy was extraordinarily famous in Russia for her short stories full of humour. Fewer knows as well that she was a poetess. Of course, she was not as great as her sister Mirra (Maria) Lokhvitskaya-Gibert who was an immediate predecessor of Anna Akhmatova, Xenaida Gippius and Marina Tsvetayeva and who was considered to have been Russian Sappho. But all the same her poems were neither weak nor amateurish ones. She died in 1952 in Paris, having outlived her contemporaries. By the way,her works were published in France too. Small wonder, `cuz in the end of her life she was a perfect French lady.

When in Germany they greet sportsmen, winners, they are used to shout: Heil! Heil! Heil! (in English: Hail! Hail! Hail!). And it`s nothing to do with Hitlerian Germany. So Zig Heil means Long live Zig! (i.e., Sigmund, in this very case Dr. Freud). By the way, the Nazi greeting is being written like this: Sieg Heil! (Long live the victory!).

Never-Dying Day   12k   Переводы

`There breaks solemn day of our victory,//Day that will never die` are the final lines of The Oriole written by Nikolai Zabolotsky in 1946. There are many excellent Russian literary texts dedicated to the Great Patriotic War of Russia 1941-1945. Some of them were even translated by me, not only Nikolai Zabolotsky`s `Oriole` http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/oriole.shtml http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-1VeIQq_M4&feature=player_detailpage but also `Sailor`s cap` by Nikita Verkhovsky http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/navyhat.shtml The Sweet Beauties Of Russia by Yaroslav Smelyakov http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/sweetbeautiesofrussia.shtml `Faraway From Home` by Alexei Fatyanov http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/faraway.shtml `La Valse des Officiers russes` by Mikhail Isakovsky http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/frontlineforet.shtml `What Made You Feel Love Of Your Motherland?` by Mikhail Matusovsky http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/motherland.shtml `Lyrical Digression` By Pavel Kogan http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/lyrdig.shtml `My Dear Man` by Yuri Herrmann http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/dearman.shtml and `The fate of a man` by Mikhail Sholokhov http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/fateofman.shtml It`s the Russian literature that the foreign translators are used to avoid, even to ignore through ignorance, of course. But ignorance can`t serve as an excuse for irresponsibility. Besides, `it`s impossible to throw lyrics from the songs` as a Russian proverb reads, the more so because many of the text I`d mentioned above became the famous and hearfelt Russian lyrical songs and some of them even the unexpected military marches. It doesn`t mean that I love all the Russian songs related to V Day topic. Tastes differs. Sometimes a new or fresh arrangement make me re-evaluate, re-open the song. For example, I could never bear that very `Katyusha`, but an excellent German arrangement and performance which I`d found great made me change my opinion https://youtu.be/ZYyEt8y1cDI
