Scent, scent of your cigarette. Marina Tsvetaeva.
(translated by Yani Sit)
Scent, scent
of your cigarette!
Dark complexioned cigar's
Scent!
Finger-rings, feathers,
Eyes, panamas...
Blue night
in Monaco.
Fu'nny scent,
Musty a little:
West in red haze -
Lamppost -
a single illuminated pillar -
Moonlit,
roar of Temza river waves,
What else?
What else...
Ah! It smell like Vein!
Perfume, hay, an open stage,
like -
......Betrayal,
...............Adultery!
***
Запах, запах
Твоей сигареты!
Смуглой сигары
Запах!
Перстни, перья,
Глаза, панамы...
Синяя ночь
Монако.
Запах странный,
Немножко затхлый:
В красном тумане -
Запад.
Столб фонарный
И рокот Темзы,
Чем же ещё?
Чем же?
Ах, Веной!
Духами, сеном,
Открытой сценой,
Изменой!
Запах, запах твоей сигареты! М. Цветаева. Transl

*Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941). She pablished her first book in 1911,
wrote poems between 1918 and 1920 in praise of the White armies and
their fight against Bolshevism; she produced the greater part of her
work in Western Europe, where she emigratedin 1922. Her poetry of
writing and staccato rhythms is uneven in quality, but forceful and
original. She returned to Russia in 1939, and committed suicide two
years leter*.
