From under the hooves
\nDirt flies up.
\nOver the face,
\nA shawl, like a shield.
\nNow the young couple is gone,
\nLet their matchmaking fathers carouse!
\nHey, take us away,<\/p>\n

You shaggy steed!<\/p>\n

Father and mother
\nNever gave us our way.
\nThe whole field is our
\nConjugal bed!
\nDrunk without wine, sated without bread,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a gypsy wedding whirling!<\/p>\n

A full glass,
\nAn empty glass,
\nHubbub of guitars, the mood and dirt,
\nRight and left a figure reels.
\nA gypsy is prince!
\nA prince, gypsy!
\nHey, mister, careful\u2014that burns!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a gypsy wedding drinking!<\/p>\n

There, on a heap
\nOf shawls and furs,
\nThe ring and whisper
\nOf steel and lip.
\nSpurs clank
\nAnswer to a necklace.
\nUnder someone\u2019s hand silk
\nWhistles.
\nOne howls like a wolf,
\nOne, like an ox, snorts.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a gypsy wedding sleeping<\/p>\n

She caught my eye with her
\nOwn, lusterless and menacing.
\nFrom someplace thunder broke.
\n—Ah, young lady!
\nLet me forecast
\nYour luck on earth.
\nBlue clouds coiled into a funnel.
\nFrom somewhere, thunder\u2014thundering!
\nThe seer fixed her
\nSleepy gaze on my child.
\n—So, what will you tell us?
\n—Everything, without fraud.
\n—It\u2019s too late for me,
\nFor her, it\u2019s still early . . .<\/p>\n

—Ah, hold your tongue, my beauty!
\nWhy say now\u2014I don\u2019t believe!\u2014
\nAnd black\u2014and all in silver\u2014her hand
\nSpread open a fan of cards.<\/p>\n

—Your speech is impertinent,
\nYou manner, unaffected,
\nYou live lavishly,
\nYou don\u2019t spare your beauty.
\nA spoonful\u2014from a man without scruples\u2014oh
\nYou drown in that little water!
\nFor you, soon, some night, an unexpected turn.
\nYour line\u2019s short,
\nShort on luck\u2014
\nGild it! Pay me,
\nIn gold.<\/p>\n

And with a thunderclap surfaces
\nBlack\u2014on black\u2014ace.<\/p>\n

My horse is a devouring fire,
\nRuns without hooves, does not neigh.
\nWhere my horse breathes\u2014no spring runs.
\nWhere my horse leaps\u2014no grass grows.
\nO, fire, my horse\u2014unsatisfied mouth!
\nO, fire, upon him\u2014unsatisfied rider!
\nMy hair knots into his red mane . . .
\nA fiery streak\u2014toward heaven!<\/p>\n

By conjure I would keep you from gold,
\nFrom a midnight-winged widow,
\nFrom foul marsh gas,
\nFrom a crone shuffling by.
\nSerpent under a bush,
\nWaters under a bridge,
\nA road crossing a road,
\nFrom women, by abstinence.
\nFrom a Bokharan shawl,
\nFrom the Tsar\u2019s draft,
\nFrom a black business,
\nFrom a white horse!<\/p>\n
