Silvery Snow by Pushkin

Silvery Snow
Silvery snow is blowing, swirling
Far away - the moon is bright -
While my lonely sleigh is whirling
Onward through the dreary night.

Sing! The endless roads oppress me,
Darkness lays the spirit low:
Now let happy notes caress me -
Sweetest songs of long ago.

Driver, sing! As I lie pining,
Let me hear familiar strains;
While the heartless moon is shining,
While the moaning wind complains.

Here´s the song - O moon, my darling,
Why so clear and why so cold?

Alexander Pushkin
Translated into English by
John Coutts



Gümüş Kar
Uzakta ay ışıl ışıl
Gümüş kar savrulur döne döne
Öter kızağım vızıl vızıl
Giderken kabuslu geceye

Şarkı söyle! uçsuz yollar bıktırır beni
Karanlıkta kasvet sarar ruhumu
Bırak neşeli tınılar sarsın bizi
Okşasın eski güzel şarkılar ruhumu

Söyle kızakçı! o aşina şarkılar çınlasın
Bense uzanıp sılayı düşleyeyim
Bırak kalpsiz ay gökte parıldasın
Ağlasın rüzgar ben üzüleyim

İşte şöyleydi şarkım, Ah ay, sevgilim
Yüzün böyle temizken, neden böyle ruhsuzsun?
