Текст песни
Владей собой среди толпы смятенной,
Тебя клянущей за смятенье всех,
Верь сам в себя, наперекор вселенной,
И маловерным отпусти их грех;
Пусть час не пробил — жди, не уставая,
Пусть лгут лжецы — не снисходи до них;
Умей прощать и не кажись, прощая,
Великодушней и мудрей других.
Умей мечтать, не став рабом мечтания,
И мыслить, мысли не обожествив;
Равно встречай успех и поруганье,
Не забывая, что их голос лжив;
Останься тих, когда твое же слово
Калечит плут, чтоб уловить глупцов,
Когда вся жизнь разрушена и снова
Ты должен все воссоздавать с основ.
Умей поставить, в радостной надежде,
На карту все, что накопил с трудом,
Все проиграть и нищим стать, как прежде,
И никогда не пожалеть о том,
Умей принудить сердце, нервы, тело
Тебе служить, когда в твоей груди
Уже давно все пусто, все сгорело
И только Воля говорит: «Иди!»
Останься прост, беседуя с царями,
Останься честен, говоря с толпой;
Будь прям и тверд с врагами и друзьями,
Пусть все, в свой час, считаются с тобой;
Наполни смыслом каждое мгновенье,
Часов и дней неуловимый бег, —
Тогда весь мир ты примешь во владенье,
Тогда, мой сын, ты будешь Человек!

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
Перевод песни
Control myself among the distraught crowd,
You who swear by the confusion of all,
Believe in myself, in spite of the universe,
And little faith let their sin;
Let the hour is not broke - wait, not tired,
Let the lying liars - not condescend to them;
Know how to forgive and not to seem, forgiving,
Generous and wise friend.
Be able to dream without becoming a slave dreams,
And to think, thoughts are not deified;
Meet equal success, and a reproach,
Not forgetting that their voice is a liar;
Stay quiet when your same word
Cripples rogue to catch fools,
When the whole life is ruined and again
You must recreate all with the basics.
Be able to put in joyful hope
At stake is everything that has accumulated with difficulty
All play and become a beggar, as before,
And never regret,
Be able to force the heart, nerves, body
Serve you, when your chest
It has long been all empty, all burned
Only Will says, "Go!"
Stay simple, conversing with kings,
Stay honest, talking to the crowd;
Be direct and firm with enemies and friends,
Let everything in its own time, considered to be with you;
Give meaning to every moment,
Hours and days of the elusive running -
Then the whole world will accept you for an inheritance,
Then, my son, you're the man!
