текст арииИз темноты появляется кабинет Эзара. На сцену выходит Гришнов и обращается к нему:
Гришнов:
Мой император! Вы меня звали…? Буду я рядом с вами в печали. Я - ваш слуга и опора для трона, Я - весь к услугам Вашей персоны… Руки мои - чисты и надежны, Я был всегда и везде осторожен, Я вижу ясно, действую смело - Сделаю то, что Зерг не сумел бы!
Нельзя вопрос оставить без решенья Кто станет регентом и примет власть? Мой государь, не может быть сомнений Лишь я не дам Империи пропасть…
Кризис правленья - это опасно, Грегор - младенец, вы же стары. Зерг не вернется, это ужасно… Смута безвластия - крах для страны! Будет ваш внук мне - владыкой и сыном Буду его охранять как святыню! Новый порядок - на благо державы Сила и воля - Империи слава!
Эзар:
Мой сын погибнет в битве как герой. А ты…
Жестом приказывает Гришнову выйти вон. Гришнов опустив голову плетется со сцены. Эзар тихо говорит ему вслед:
Я знаю, что я сделаю с тобой!
Гришнов исчезает со сцены. За сценой раздается выстрел.
The Death of Grishnov ("Смерть Гришнова") перевод Philomytha * Ezar's office appears in the darkness. Grishnov comes forward.
Grishnov: My Emperor! You sent for me? I'll be beside you, sharing your grief. I'm your servant and stand by your side, I will do anything that you require. Use my hands, they're clean and skilful I've been everywhere, I'm always careful I can see clearly, my plans are good I will do what Serg never could.
You cannot fail to leave us with an answer Who will be Regent and call the shots? Your royal highness, the truth is very clear: I stand between the Empire and collapse.
A succession crisis will bring disaster Gregor's a child, you're getting old, Serg is gone, and with is no other Anarchy will reign, Barrayar destroyed!
I would guard your grandson like a son of my own, I would protect him as if he were holy, Create a new order, with strengthened power And strength and will, for Imperial glory!
Ezar: My son will die in battle as a hero. As for you... we'll be together soon.
Umeko, да вот, все известные мне новости здесь - то есть нет новостей. Такое ощущение, что внутри себя этот горшочек бурлит потихоньку, но мы пока ничего не знаем. Будет готово - скажут.
The project is mostly on hold at the moment but when I get some free time I will try to get what we have up on Archive of Our Own with the audio and share it around.
When I get some more free time I'll try to start it up again. I did a panel on the project at Conflikt (a filk convention) in January but right after that the site hosting the opera audio started triggering computer virus warnings so I held off on more sharing until that was resolved.
Tel, are that you? I'm glad to learn that this project didn't stopped yet and look forward to any results.

перевод Philomytha
*
Ezar's office appears in the darkness. Grishnov comes forward.
Grishnov:
My Emperor! You sent for me?
I'll be beside you, sharing your grief.
I'm your servant and stand by your side,
I will do anything that you require.
Use my hands, they're clean and skilful
I've been everywhere, I'm always careful
I can see clearly, my plans are good
I will do what Serg never could.
You cannot fail to leave us with an answer
Who will be Regent and call the shots?
Your royal highness, the truth is very clear:
I stand between the Empire and collapse.
A succession crisis will bring disaster
Gregor's a child, you're getting old,
Serg is gone, and with is no other
Anarchy will reign, Barrayar destroyed!
I would guard your grandson like a son of my own,
I would protect him as if he were holy,
Create a new order, with strengthened power
And strength and will, for Imperial glory!
Ezar:
My son will die in battle as a hero.
As for you... we'll be together soon.
A shot rings out.
