You came, and as is usual in life,
for people without locks and doors,
present suddenly became past -
once again - open simple world...
You came in and it became clear,
That I have not yet lived in the world,
and the past trash flied away unrepaired,
And I am kid again, as I was,
And I stand again, scatterbrain, lamp,
not remembering why and what for,
Only my heart became hot,
That with you we are together at last,
And away from anguish, sorrow, anger,
From the place where the comfort is spoiled,
We will leave for a clear perfect country,
where they only build bridges, not burn...
***
Ты пришла и как водится в жизни,
У людей без замков и дверей,
Настоящее вдруг стало прошлым
И распахнут вновь мир без затей...
Ты вошла и стало понятным,
Что на свете ещё я не жил,
Отлетел прошлый хлам безвозвратно,
И я снова мальчишкой, как был,
Вновь стою, ротозеем раззявясь,
И не помню зачем и о чём,
Только на сердце стало жарко,
Наконец то с тобою, вдвоём,
От тоски, от печали, от гнева,
От всего что неволит уют,
Мы уйдём в ту страну, где так ясно,
И мосты только строят, не жгут..

I would like to translate this poem
I like this poem. It's a poem of a sudden awareness, sweeping the speaker into action. There's no time ponder and that means his impulsive behavior is completely compatible with his circumstance. At the he has met his soulmate, I believe, and the two of them escape to a kind of paradise-vacation world. Ingmar Bergman made an early film on this subject of two young people impulsively fleeing on a romantic escapade. B-U-T the film called MY SUMMER WITH MONICA continues past the time frame of this poem into an autumn, when things get tough, the young woman resentful, the young man helpless. It all ends badly and sadly. Now if the film had ended its story in August instead of November it would have illustrated the poem perfectly. What do you want, dear friend, perfection or the truth? Can't decide? Take your time. Life will always carry us into the Autumn of our Hopes and Dreams!
