Oh, I feel: nothing can us

Calm down among worldly sorrows;

Nothing, nothing... is there only one conscience!

So, sane, she will triumph

Over malice, over dark slander;

But if there is a single spot in it,

One accidentally wound up

Then trouble: like a pestilence

The soul will burn, the heart will be filled with poison,

Like a hammer, knocking in the ears reproachfully

And everything is sick, and the head is spinning,

And the boys are bloody in the eyes ...

And I'm glad to run, but nowhere ... terrible! ...

Yes, pitiful is the one in whom the conscience is unclean!
