Текст песни В.Я. Брюсов - Хвала Человеку

Young sailor of the universe,
Mira ancient woodcutter,
Steady, unchanged
Be glorified, Man!

On deaf paths of centuries
You pass with an ax,
Target a bow, put the network.
You triumph over the enemy!

Stones, wind, water, flame
You humbled your bridle,
Shouting a Banner
Right in the dome is blue.

Eternally imperious, forever young,
In the countries of Dusk and Ice,
To make the propulsion hammer,
Filled with glitter of the city.

Through the desert and over the abyss
You led your way
To be torn, iron
Thread the earth braid.

In the ancient, free Oceans,
Where only whales played,
On steel leviathans
You ran powerfully.

Snake, stinging greedily
From the sky, the projections of the oaks,
You caught mercilessly
Relentless hunters.

And hissing under the fragile ball,
And in the glass bent in an arc,
He is now, submissive to the spell,
Shines sly enemy.

Tsar unhappy and stubborn
The four sub-moon kingdoms
Without shame, you dig holes,
You multiply thousands of deceptions, -

But, brave, with elements
After fighting, with chest chest,
That still over new
Loop of slavery overwhelm.

I believe, cheeky! You put
Above the ground are rows of sails,
You will send with your own hand
Running in space, between the luminaries, -

And the inhabitants of the universe,
Those whose path you crossed,
Say hello sacred:
Be glorified, Man!
