Чёрный обелиск - Стена

(This) familiar feeling, cold runs down my spine
to the feeling of an obstacle, I'm approaching again to (this) wall
Again, (my) hand runs onto the stone: stop!
Again, the wall proposes to battle with her ('to enter with her in fight")

As gray huge-mass, it's towering-up above (my) head
years passing, the wall remains (as a) wall
How many lost faces it reflects ("reflects she")
how many lost years, are at (my) back

В камень шершавый впиваются руки с тоской,
как в лихорадке бурлит муравейник людской
Яркие вспышки на сумрачном небе видны,
блики ложатся на вздыбленный гребень стены
