Ahmatova, Anna Andrejevna: I live like clocks' cuckoos (version 2) (Я живу, как кукушка в часах... in English)

Portre of Ahmatova, Anna Andrejevna

Я живу, как кукушка в часах... (Russian)

Я живу, как кукушка в часах,
Не завидую птицам в лесах.
Заведут — и кукую.
Знаешь, долю такую
Лишь врагу
Пожелать я могу.

I live like clocks' cuckoos (version 2) (English)

I live like notable clocks' cuckoos
and do not envy birds in the woods.
The drive comes -  and I cuckoo.
Yet I can not wish this doom,
I tell you,
but to my foes to do.
