“On the hills of Georgia, darkness …” by Alexander Pushkin

“On the hills of Georgia, darkness …” by Alexander Pushkin 🇷🇺 (6 Jun 1799 – 10 Feb 1837)

Translated from the Russian by A. S. Kline

On the hills of Georgia, darkness

I hear Aragva’s roar,

light and sad, my grief transparent;

my melancholy filled with you.

You, and you alone … my sorrow

Still untouched and unmoved,

And my heart flames again, and loves—

for what else can it do?
