Давайте восклицать!.. [Davayte vosklitzat'] [English translation]

Let’s Exclaim!

Let's exclaim, let's admire each other.

It’s not worth being afraid of grandiloquent words.

Let's give each other compliments -

After all, these are the happy moments of life.

Let's mourn and weep openly,

at times together, or one by one, or in turns.

We needn’t give malice importance,

since sadness is always love’s neighbor.

Let's understand each other with half-words,

For having been mistaken once, we need not be mistaken again.

Let's live, indulging each other in everything, -

All the more so, as life is so short.
