A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "Now the Hungry Lion Roars"

Сон в летнюю ночь, соч. 64: "Теперь голодный лев рычит"

Now, now the hungry lion roars

Теперь, теперь голодный лев рычит

And the wolf beholds the moon whiles the heavy plowman snores

И волк взирает на луну, пока усталый пахарь храпит

All with weary tussle done, now the wasted branch do glow

Все, утомившись в битве злой, иссохшие ветви светятся

As the screech owl's screeching loud

Как филин громко закричит

Puts to wretch the flies in grove

Напуганных мух в роще сводит

In remembrance of a shroud

В напоминанье о саване

Now it is the time of night that the great hall gaping wide

Теперь пришла пора ночная, когда чертог зияет пуст

Everyone that's foot is right

Каждый, чей шаг беззвучен

In the church we pass do glide

Мимо церкви мы скользим

And with fairies like to run by the triple hangman steered

И с феями мчимся вскачь, ведомы тройным палачом

From the presence of the sun following darkness back afraid

От солнца прочь, за тьмой вослед, в страхе бежим

Now are rolling

Теперь настало время

Now not a mouse, not a mouse shall disturb this hallow

Ни мышь, ни мышь не потревожит святости

Shall disturb this hallow, shall this hallow, this hallow

Не потревожит святости, святости, святости

I am sent to broom the floor to sweep the dust behind the door

Мне велено подмести пол, смести пыль за дверью

Through the house give glimmering light every elf and fairy sprite

По дому дай мерцающий свет, эльфам и феям

Sing this ditty after me

Пой эту песенку за мной

Sing and dance it trippingly

Пой и пляши легко

Fast rehearse your song by heart

Быстро учи слова наизусть

Try to remember now it part

Постарайся запомнить свою часть

Hand in hand with fairy grace do the sacred dance embrace

Рука с рукой, с феей грациозной, священный танец начни

Now till break of day

Теперь до рассвета

Through this palace fey

Через дворец волшебный

Through the best bed of night which for us shadows made

Через ночи ложе лучшее, что тени для нас сплели

And we will show them that we cannot be outdone

И мы докажем им, что нас не превзойти

We shall show them that we cannot be outdone

Мы докажем им, что нас не превзойти

When he's built his party great

Когда он пир устроит пышный

Every fairy take his gait

Каждая фея выйдет важно

And each step do tread our guest through his palace with sweet feast

И каждый шаг веди гостей по дворцу с угощеньем сладким

And we shall feed upon all that he has placed

И мы отведаем всё, что он поставил

Trip away

Уходи прочь

Make no stay

Не задерживайся

Meet me or I'll break your day

Встреться со мной, иль день сломлю

If we shadows have offended

Коль тени нас обидели

Think but this and all is mended

Подумай лишь - и всё исправится

That you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear

Что ты лишь задремала здесь, пока виденья были

Gentles, do not reprehend

Господа, не осуждайте

If you pardon, we will mend

Коль простите - загладим

Else the puck a liar call

Иначе Пэка лжецом зови

So good night unto you all

Так спокойной ночи всем вам

Give me your hands, if we befriends and Robin shall restore amends

Жмите руки, коль мы друзья, и Робин загладит вину
