Paroles et traduction Булат Окуджава - Ты в чём виновата?..

Ты в чём виновата?..

Ты в чем виновата?
Ты в том виновата,
Что зоркости было
В тебе маловато:
Красивой слыла,
Да слепою была.
А в чем ты повинна?
А в том и повинна,
Что рада была
Любви половинной:
Любимой слыла,
Да ненужной была.
А кто в том виною?
А ты и виною:
Все тенью была
У него за спиною,
Все тенью была —
Никуда не звала.

What Are You Guilty Of?...

What are you guilty of?
You are guilty of this,
That your vision was
Too dim, it appears:
You were known as beautiful,
But you were blind, it's true.
And what are you to blame for?
You are to blame for this,
That you were happy
With a love that was half-hearted:
You were known as beloved,
But you were unneeded, it's clear.
And who is at fault for this?
You are at fault:
You were always a shadow
Behind him, unseen,
Always a shadow you remained —
Never beckoning him near.
