His first poems were translated into Russian at the close of the 18th century. Russian people admire Robert Burns's poems and songs in the original and in the wonderful translations of Samuel Marshak.
Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, was born on January 25, 1759, in a small clay cottage at Alloway, in Ayrshire, Scotland.

His father, William Burns, was a poor farmer. He built this small clay cottage with his own hands. There were seven children in the family, and Robert was the eldest. His father knew the value of a good education, and he tried to give his children the best education he could afford. Robert was sent to school at the age of six, but as his father could not pay for the two sons, Robert and his brother Gilbert attended school in turn. When not at school, the boys helped their father with his work in the fields. But soon the teacher left, and so Burns's father along with his four neighbours invited a young school-teacher, John Murdoch, to teach their boys. When Murdoch left, the poet's father taught the children himself. Reading and writing, arithmetic, English grammar, history, literature, French and Latin — that was Robert Burns education. William Burns died in February 1784. Later Robert Burns wrote about his father in his verses



"My Father Was a Farmer":
My father was a farmer
upon the Carrick border, O,
And carefully he bred me
in decency and order, O.
He bade me act a manly part,
though I had ne'er a farthing, O,
For without an honest, manly heart
no man was worth regarding, O.

what's the name o't; Around It a' the patriots dance, Wccl Europe kens the fame o't. It stands where ance the Bastile slood, A prison, built by klnjrs, man, When Superstition's hellish brood Kept France in leading-strings, man. Let Britain boast her hardy oafc, Her poplar and her pine, man, Ли Id Britain ance could crack her joke, And o'er her neighbours shine, man. But seek the forest round and round. And soon 'twill be agreed, man, That sic a tree cannot be found Twixt London and theTweed, man, Without this tree, alakel this life is but a vale o" woe, man; A scene o' sorrow mixed wi' strife, Nae real jays we know, man. Wi' plenty o' sic trees, I trow, The warld would live in peace, man; The sward would help lo так а plough. The din a' war wad cease, man. Like brethren In a common cause, We'd on each other smile, man; And equal rights and equal laws Wad gladden every isle, man.

ДЕРЕВО СВОБОДЫ

Есть дерево в Париже, брат.
Под сень его густую
Друзья отечества спешат,
Победу торжествуя.
Где нынче у его ствола
Свободный люд толпится,
Вчера Бастилия Пыла,
Всей Франции темница,
Британский край! Хорош твой дуб.
Твой стройней тополь — тоже.
И ты на шутки был не скуп,
Когда ты был моложе.
Богатым лесом ты одет —
И дубом и сосной, край.
Но дерева свободы нет
В твоей семье лесной, брат!
А без него нам свет не мил
И горек хлеб голодный.
Мы выбиваемся из сил
На борозде бесплодной.
Но верю я: настанет день,—
И он не за горами, —
Когда листвы волшебной: сень
Раскинется над нами.
Забудут рабство и нужду
Народы и края, брат,
И будут люди жить в ладу,
Как дружная семья, брат!

and folklore. His favourite national hero was William Wallace, the leader of the uprising against the English oppressors. In many of his poems Burns signs the glorious past of his native land.

MY HEART’S IN THE HIGHLANDS.
My heart’s in the Highlands, me heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer,
A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe-
My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go!

В ГОРАХ МОЁ СЕРДЦЕ.
В горах моё сердце…Доныне я там,
По следу оленя лечу по скалам.
Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу,
В горах моё сердце, а сам я внизу.

приносит весть, О девушке моей. Леса шумят, ручьи журчат, В тиши твоих долин. И, как ручьи мечты мои К тебе стремятся, Джин. Тебя напоминает мне В полях цветок любой. И лес в вечерней тишине, Заворожён тобой. Бубенчик ландыша в росе, Да и не он один, А все цветы и птицы все, Поют о милой Джин.

OF A' THE AIRTS THE WIND CAN BLAW

Of a' the airts the wind can blaw,
I dearly like the West,
For there the bonnie lassie lives,
The lassie I lo'e best;
There wild woods grow, and rivers row,
And толу a hill between;
But day and night, my fancy's flight
Is ever' wi' my Jean.
I see her in the dewy flowers,
I see hier sweet and fair;
I hear her in Ihe tunefu' birds,
I hear her charm tiie air;
There's not a bonnie flower that springs
By fountain, shaw, or green,
There's not a bonnie bird that sings
But minds me o' my Jean.

syne, We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne! Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind ? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne! And surely ye 'll be your pint' stowp, And surely I 'll be mine, A nd we 'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne! We twa hae run about the braes, And pou'd the gowans fine, But we 've wander'd monie a weary fit Sin' auld lang syne. We twa hae paidl'd in the burn Frae morning sun till dine, But seas between us braid hae roar'd Sin' auld lang syne. V And there's a hand, my trusty fiere, And gie 's a hand o' thine, And we 'll tak a right guid-willie waught For auld lang syne! Chorus For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindess yet For auld lang syne!
