- В ненастный день весенний V nenastnyy den' vesenniy On a bleak spring day,
- за гробом шла толпа, za grobom shla tolpa, behind the coffin walked a crowd,
- убитая тяжелым горем ubitaya tyazhelym gorem crushed by grievous sorrow
- она Бетховена несла... ona Betkhovena nesla... it was carrying Beethoven...
- В толпе с поникшей головою V tolpe s ponikshey golovoyu In the crowd with his head bowed.
- шел Шуберт. shel Shubert. walked Schubert.
- Над ним незримо смерть парила Nad nim nezrimo smert' parila Above him, unseen, Death hovered,
- и взор своих потухших глаз i vzor svoikh potukhshikh glaz and the gaze of her extinguished eyes
- она на нем остановила... ona na nem ostanovila... she fixed upon him
- Вернувшись с похорон Vernuvshis' s pokhoron Returning from the funeral
- в любимый погребок, v lyubimyy pogrebok, to his favorite tavern,
- он поднял свой бокал on podnyal svoy bokal he raised his glass
- и выпил за того, i vypil za togo, and drank to him,
- кто первый из друзей kto pervyy iz druzey who would be the first among his friends
- последует за тем, posleduyet za tem, to follow he,
- кого толпа сегодня хоронила... kogo tolpa segodnya khoronila... whom the crowd buried today.
- Прошел недолгий срок, Proshel nedolgiy srok, Not much time passed,
- как смерть неумолимо, kak smert' neumolimo, before Death, relentless,
- безжалостно, bezzhalostno, merciless,
- сурово руку опустила. surovo ruku opustila. sternly lowered her hand
- Погиб великий гений, Pogib velikiy geniy, A great genius perished;
- ушел от нас великий, славный Шуберт... ushel ot nas velikiy, slavnyy Shubert... the great and glorious Schubert departed from us...
- В ненастный день весенний V nenastnyy den' vesenniy On a bleak spring day,
- толпа за гробом шла, tolpa za grobom shla, a crowd walked behind the coffin,
- убитая тяжелым горем: ubitaya tyazhelym gorem: crushed by grievous sorrow:
- она в могилу Шуберта несла... ona v mogilu Shuberta nesla... it was bearing Schubert to the grave...
