After The War I'll Meet My Husband. Poem by Liza Sud

After The War I'll Meet My Husband.

After the war I'll meet my husband.
the term of war is a lifetime.
No need to cry: light on the puddles,
and from the roofs the swallows fly.

As after reading Kalevala -
in the soul pure light will rise.
and of the spring thaw - a blue color,
and drops of honey - on a pine.

As Vyaynemyaynen struggled there,
and Lemmikaynen for the brides.
And here is the reverse process,
resembling an incest sometimes.

Their Sampo sank into the water,
they were the giants and the heroes -
But by the wind a wave's not blown,
will not be blown your small ship.

Cause they were ruled by clever boatsman,
it was your Husband who ruled there.
and you consider yourself lonely,
and became very much afraid.

***
После войны я встречу мужа.
моя война - длиною в жизнь.
Не надо плакать: свет на лужах,
и ласточки слетают с крыш.

Как после чтенья Калевалы -
в душе воспрянет чистый свет.
весенний синий цвет проталин,
и капли меда - на сосне.

Там воевали Вяйнемяйнен
и Леммикайнен за невест.
А здесь идет процесс обратный,
напоминающий инцест.

Их Сампо в воду затонуло,
гиганты и богатыри -
Но ветром их в волну не сдуло,
не сдует лодочки твои.

Ведь ими правит ловкий Кормчий,
ведь ими правит твой же Муж.
а ты себя мнишь одинокой,
и испугалась очень уж.
