That's interesting, friends, and you personally, what is the transfer option closer?

A.Sergeyev translation:

Carrying this proud burden -

Native sons went

To serve you subject to

Peoples on the edge of the earth -

On the cautious sake of gloomy

Rolling savages

Half demons

Half people.

Carrying this proud burden -

Be Rovna and deliver,

Do not learn

And not count the offense;

Simple clear word

For the hundredth time repeat -

This to your ward

Generous removed the crop.

Carrying this proud burden -

Fight for someone else's peace -

Finish the disease to retreat

And the hunger is close to the mouth;

But what you are closer to success,

The better recognize

Pagan negativeness

Treacherous lie.

Carrying this proud burden

Not as a sore king -

To heavy black work,

As a slave behavior;

During his lifetime, you do not see

Ports, highway, bridges -

So the system of them leaving

Graves such as you!

Carrying this proud burden -

You will be rewarded

Captures commanders

And shouts of wild tribes:

"What do you want, damned,

Why confuse the minds?

Do not bring us to the light

From the pretty Egyptian darkness! "

Carrying this proud burden -

Ungrateful work, -

Ah, too loud speech

Your fatigue is issued!

What you already did

And still ready to do

The silent people will measure

You and your gods.

Carrying this proud burden -

From youth in the distance

Forget about light glory

Cheap laurel wreath -

Now your matureness

And the failure of fate

Gorky and sober

Court of equal to you!

Second translation:

Translation of V.Toporov:

Your lot is the burden of white!

As in the exile, went

His sons for service

Dark Sons of Earth;

On religious work -

There is no shelter -

Edit stupid crowp

That devils, then children.

Your lot is the burden of white!

Patiently demolition

Threats and insult

And honors do not ask;

Be patient and honest,

Do not be lazy to a hundred times -

To understand each -

Your repetition order.

Your lot is the burden of white!

The world of hard war:

Foaming hungry,

Mor spear off from the country;

But, even having achieved goal,

Be alert always:

Change il aluminum

Pagan Chest.

Your lot is the burden of white!

But this is not a throne, and work:

Washed clothes,

And lubrication, and itching.

Roads and moorings

Descendants of Ponstro

Life put on it -

And Lagged in the ground is someone else's.

Your lot is the burden of white!

Reward from awards -

The contempt of native powers

And the malice of passengers.

You (oh, on which windshche!)

Svetok will head the mind

To listen to: "We are a nail

Egyptian Darkness! "

Your lot is the burden of white!

His drop do not dare!

Do not dare chatter about freedom

Hide the weakness of your shoulders!

Fatigue is not an excuse,

After all, the native people

According to Tobyu

Your gods know.

Your lot is the burden of white!

Forget how you decided

Achieve soon glory -

Then you were a baby.

In ruthless time

Twread deaf godin

It's time to join a man,

Subject to the court of men!

Third translation:

Translation M.Fromanaa:

Carry the burden of white, -

And the best sons

On grave work

For thirty seas;

To the service to the conquered

Sullen tribes

To serve to semi-tech

And maybe hello!

Carry the burden of white, -

Summarize everything

Speed ​​even pride

And shame to overcome;

Press the hardness of stone

All said words

Give them all that

I used to benefit to you.

Carry the burden of white, -

Remove the world of war,

Press the hunger,

Finish with Chuma,

When wrecking your

End will approach,

Your hard work will destroy

Lazy or fool.
