Lyrics Гёте - Фауст

I'm bored, demon.

Mephistopheles

       What should I do, Faustus?
This is the limit,
Its no one transgresses.
The whole creature is bored by the sensible:
Other than laziness, he is of works;
Who believes, who has lost faith;
He did not have time to enjoy,
He enjoyed the measure,
And everyone yawns and lives -
And all of you coffin, yawning, waiting.
Yawn and you.

Faust

       A dry joke!
Find me a way somehow
To scatter.

Mephistopheles

       Pleased be
You are proof of understanding.
108

In your album, write:
Fastidium est quies - boredom
Soul's respite.
I'm a psychologist ... here's science! ..
Tell me, when did you not miss?
Think, look. Whether then,
As Virgil was dozing,
Have you roused your rod?
Then, how did he get married like a rose
Are you supportive maidens of fun
And in the riotous riotous devotion
Are they the heat of an evening hangover?
Then, how did you sink?
In generous dreams,
Into the abyss of dark science?
But - I remember - then with boredom,
Like a harlequin, from the fire
You finally summoned me.
I wriggled the small demon,
I tried to cheer you up,
I drove to witches and spirits,
And what? all on trifles.
You wanted glory - and achieved, -
I wanted to fall in love - and fell in love.
You took a life from a life,
Was he happy?

Faust

       Stop,
Do not mock me with ulcers.
In the deep knowledge of life there is -
I cursed the knowledge of a false light,
A glory ... a ray of her random
It's elusive. Worldly honor
As meaningless as a dream ... But there is
Direct benefit: combination
Two showers ...

Mephistopheles

   And the first date,
Is not it, eh? But you can not find out
109

Whom do you wish to remember,
Is not Gretchen?

Faust

       Oh, a wonderful dream!
O flame of pure love!
There, there - where a shadow, where the noise is woody,
Where sweet-sonorous streams -
There, on her bosom is a lovely
Rest a languid chapter,
I was happy ...

Mephistopheles

       Heavenly Creator!
You are delirious, Faust, in reality!
Helpful remembrance
You deceive yourself.
Do not I give you my hard work
Delivered the miracle of beauty?
And at one o'clock sharp midnight
Did he bring her with you? Then
The fruits of their labor
I was playing alone,
As you two - I remember everything.
When your beauty is
Was in ecstasy, in ecstasy,
You are restless soul
Already plunged into thinking
(And we proved with you,
What a thought - boredom seed).
And you know, my philosopher,
What did you think at such a time,
When nobody thinks?
Shall I tell you?

Faust

       Speak. Well?

Mephistopheles

You thought: my obedient lamb!
How eagerly I wanted you!
110

How cleverly in a maid of the simple-hearted
I was outraged by the dreams of my heart! -
Love involuntary, disinterested
Innocently she surrendered ...
Well, my chest is now full
Sadness and boredom hated ...?
At the sacrifice of my whim
I look, reveling in pleasure,
With irresistible disgust:
So an uncountable fool,
Voshche decide on an evil deed,
Having killed a beggar in the forest,
Bragging at the torn body; -
So the sales beauty,
Satisfying it hurriedly,
Disdain glances timidly ...
Then from this whole
You alone led to the conclusion ...

Faust

Hide, hellish creation!
Run away from my sight!

Mephistopheles

Able. Ask only me the task:
Without action, you know, from you
I dare not go away -
I do not spend a free time.

Feist

What is there white? speak.

Mephistopheles

The ship is a three-masted Spanish ship,
Sitting in Holland ready:
There are hundreds of scoundrels on it,
111

Two monkeys, barrels of gold,
Yes the load is rich in chocolate,
Yes fashionable disease: she
You have recently been presented.
