Перевод стих. Стран-Ника Вор

I am a thief. I knew all fortune hiding places…
I broke the laws and hoped on youth and luck!
I stole my love, and peaches’ smiling faces,
And fluffy ladies’  unconcern and truck!
I wasted  everything which stuck to palms at random,
I didn’t think a wink to save the cash,
Like Robin Hood I shared  in a flash
All stolen treasures thus  in happy ending.
I swapped my things for drink without confusion,
Presented gifts and summarized the life,
It was a stone in heavens sling illusion,
And Irish leipreachan  with gold to be in high.
My dusty faith was swirling, memorizing
Those happy days and nights of early past,
It tried to help in vain the beggars’ cast,
Who pled for happiness, oh,God, it was surprising!
It is your choice, my greedy soul, your fear,
You should be punished through a shower of abuse,
Just set me time, Eternity, my dear,
I am a thief.   I’ll steal again - but hope!
                For future use.
