Уважаемые переводчики!
Может кому-нибудь случалось переводить подобные стихи?
К сожалению, я не поэтесса и вряд ли смогу адекватно передать "глубокий внутренний смысл" подобного шедевра. Тут Шескпир нужен или, по крайней мере, Пушкин. I Chose to Look the Other Way I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way.
It wasn’t that I didn’t care;
I had the time, and I was there. But I didn’t want to seem a fool,
Or argue over a safety rule.
I knew he’d done the job before;
If I spoke up, he might get sore. The chances didn’t seem that bad;
I’d done the same, he knew I had.
So I shook my head and walked on by;
He knew the risks as well as I. He took the chance, I closed an eye;
And with that act, I let him die.
I could have save a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way. Now every time I see his wife,
I know I should have saved his life.
The guilt is something I must bear;
But it isn’t something you need to share. If you see a risk that others take
That puts their health or life at stake,
The question asked or thing you say,
Could help them live another day. If you see a risk and walk away,
Then hope you never have to say,
“I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way.” Заранее спасибо
