‘ Wait For Me’

“ A letter from wife” by Jack Altausen

I went over and over its contents,

Hearing nothing, and never once stirred.

All the passionate love that she bore me

Echoed clearly in every word.

Mother’s love

Настоящее имя Гудзенко — Сарио, итальянское имя ему дала мать.

Лежит он, как витязь,

В потоптанном жите,

Родную увидите –

Не говорите.

He lies like a knight

In the trampled rye.

If you meet with his mother –

Don’t tell her he died…

A letter to a soldier’s mother

боль - pain

страдание - suffer

любящее сердце - loving heart

милосердие - charity

надежда - hope

Joseph Utkin – is a legendary poet of pre-war generation

We’ll soon be returning: I know and believe it.

The time will assuredly come

When partings and grief shall be left far behind us.

But joy shall walk into the home.

Мы скоро вернёмся. Я знаю. Я верю.

И время такое придёт:

Останутся грусть и разлука за дверью

И в дом только радость войдёт.
