Строфа 34

Но муж любил ее сердечно,
But husband hers loved her completely

В ее затеи не входил,
Into her ventures went not deep,

Во всем ей веровал беспечно,
In all believed to her more lightly,

А сам в халате ел и пил;
And he in bathrobe did life grip;

Покойно жизнь его катилась;
His life’s at ease always rolling;

Под вечер иногда сходилась
Sometimes together neighbors going

Соседей добрая семья,
Were friendly in a circle and

Нецеремонные друзья,
They were indeed the near friends

И потужить, и позлословить,
To grieve together and to gossip,

И посмеяться кой о чем.
To laugh at something like a style.

Проходит время; между тем
A time did pass swift… and meanwhile

Прикажут Ольге чай готовить,
They ordered Olga to make hot tea,

Там ужин, там и спать пора,
There's dinner time, there's time to sleep,

И гости едут со двора.
And guests were moving off since here.
