Topic: Verse translation
Could someone please translate this little verse I saw in a
postcard:
Будь на чеку,
В такие дни
Подслушивают стены.
Недалеко от болтовни
И сплетни
До измены.
Thanx!!!
Re: Verse translation
Hello, MT
I think it is:
Take care!
On days like these
Even the walls can overhear.
The path from any jabber
Or any gossip
To a treason isn’t far
Re: Verse translation
И сплетни
До измены.
and gossips
before the treason (what the context?)

You should read it like that:
Недалеко от [болтовни и сплетни]
До измены.

Re: Verse translation
The exact translation is:
Будь на чеку,
Be aware,
В такие дни
In the days like these
Подслушивают стены.
The walls are overhearing.
Недалеко от болтовни
Not far from chattering
И сплетни
And gossip
До измены.
To cheating.
