Sergei Polunin💥ZABAVA (May 31, 2024) Сергей Полунин

Ballet artist Sergei Polunin (Сергей Полунин) performing "Zabava" (Fun) at the III Women's Forum in Kuzbass, Kemerovo on May 31st, 2024. He also performed 2 other dances and gave a brief interview (one dance and the interview are posted separately. Links below).

Song: Alexander Malinin's "Zabava" (Fun). Lyrics adapted from Sergei Yesenin's poem "I Have One Fun Left".

Святый Боже,
Святы крепки,
Святы бессмертны,
Помилуй мя...

Мне осталась одна забава:
Пальцы в рот да веселый свист.
Прокатилась дурная слава,
Что похабник я и скандалист.

Ах! Какая смешная потеря!
Много в жизни смешных потерь.
Стыдно мне, что я в Бога не верил.
Горько мне, что не верю теперь.

Дар поэта - ласкать и карябать,
Роковая на нем печать.
Розу белую с черной жабой
Я хотел на земле повенчать.

Пусть не сладились, пусть не сбылись
Эти помыслы розовых дней.
Но коль черти в душе гнездились -
Значит, ангелы жили в ней.

Золотые далекие дали!
Все сжигает житейская мреть.
И похабничал я и скандалил
Для того чтобы ярче гореть.

Вот за это веселие мути,
Отправляясь с ней в край иной,
Я хочу при последней минуте
Попросить тех, кто будет со мной,

Чтоб за все за грехи мои тяжкие,
За неверие в благодать
Положили меня в русской рубашке
Под иконами умирать.

Мне осталась одна забава:
Пальцы в рот да веселый свист.
Прокатилась дурная слава,
Что похабник я и скандалист.

Ах! Какая смешная потеря!
Много в жизни смешных потерь.
Стыдно мне, что я в Бога не верил.
Горько мне, что не верю теперь.

TRANSLATION:

Holy God,
Holy and Mighty!
Holy Immortal!
Have mercy on me ...

I'm left with only one amusement:
The fingers in my mouth and a cheerful whistle.
I'm swept with a bad reputation,
That I'm bawdy and a brawler.
Oh! What a ridiculous loss!
There are many funny losses in life.
I'm ashamed that I didn't believe in God.
I'm sorry that I don't believe now.

The gift of the poet - to caress and scribble,
their fate is sealed.
A white rose with a black toad
I wanted to marry together on earth.

Let them not come to pass,
let them not come true
these thoughts of rosy days
But if devils nested in my soul -
That means angels lived there too.

Golden, far off distances!
The worldly dream burns everything.
I've been foul and scandalous
in order to burn brighter.

Here's to the fun messes,
I'm going with them to the other side,
I want at the final moment
to ask those who will be with me
That for everything, for my grave sins,
for my disbelief in grace,
that they lay me out in a Russian shirt
under the icons to die.

(Everyone whistle with me)

I have one amusement left:
The fingers in my mouth and a cheerful whistle.
I'm swept with a bad reputation,
That I'm bawdy and a brawler.
Oh! What a ridiculous loss!
There are many funny losses in life.
I'm ashamed that I didn't believe in God.
I'm sorry that I don't believe now.

[candidacarino]

Polunin gives a complete and believable interpretation of a person who is in real jeopardy; a person who has repented and sinned again of the same sin! I'm quite impressed with Polunin; and I certainly admire his versatility in dance and powerful theatrical skills ❤❤❤. Thank you @ India Ink for this deeply touching Video of Polunin's performance ❤😊.

Gladys Suarez: ¡Gracias India ! me gustaria saber en que se inspira esta baile de Sergei, entiendo que es algo que tiene que ver con su alma rusa. Sergei siempre es maravilloso!! Pena que han dejado de traducir los comentarios en ruso al español.
