It is dark today in the sea - Тэффи

It is dark today in the sea
How dullfully dark!
As if all of the Earth's grief
Has descended from top

No free breath can unseal
My lips, voice's bourne
I'm corpse, cold and stiff
For whom nobody mourns

The underworld's cliff
Dapples with ooze and sludge
The moist breathes and flaps
The long hair locks

The coral of scarlet shades
Stung the chest and lingers
The print of the kiss invades
And excites with new dreams

Just don't think that the grave
Will tear our chain
What is there - shall stay
What's eternal - prevails!

And when the wave shall quietly rest
Over the pale abyss
When shall play the stars in fever
And the moon should exite with rays

I know I will come to you
I can't do otherwise
There's no other path
To my vivid paradise!

Warm and alive
I will enter Your midnight sleep
My death has given me this power
In the hour of need!

On Your chest I shall find
(Have You forgot? Have You not known?)
Of that kiss, the red sign
Owns the color of scarlet coral

We shall give ourselves to the mysterious power
Of insane dream of Yours
We're all the same! As we were!
What's eternal - prevails!

Neither death nor grief shall break us
The block of frightening chain
It is dark today in the sea
How dullfuly dark!
