Валерий Брюсов - К финскому народу
текст песни

Resistant, stubborn, sullen,
Under the pines an adult people!
Their noise suggested the Duma,
Their noise in your songs lives.

Calm, harsh, mighty,
Like an ancient granite granite!
Your spirit, as if winter clouds,
Not thunder, but Bind Bay.

Between the stones, then mossy, then naked,
You looked away the transparency of the lakes:
You are fed in the works of heavy,
But the gloom and clear your eyes.

All whole, like a huge stone,
I breathe deeply, -
Dear cruel and dark
You walked through the century, slowly;

But the songs of their own, like shrines,
Kept - and singeling language,
And the world are you now
All the same, all the former face.

In need and in labor patient, -
Sailor, agriculture, woodcutter -
You slept on the stones
Enjoyed overwhelmed his rivers;

With nature struggling, cool,
All difficulties to meet ready -
Estimation on the granites of the fad
Harsh cities.

And rhymes, and brushes, and strings
Now they submitted to you
You, brave, you, powerful, you, young,
Throw your challenge to fate.

Still firmly, the people are adamant!
No wonder between the rocks you increased:
Do you have a little breasted shine
Blizzards frantically demolished!

Still firmly! Who is with anger nature
I knew how to fight for centuries -
He will survive difficult years
He will come out of any adversity,
As before, and strong and intact!
