It sounds OK by itself but it does not rhyme with home.

I drink to a broken home,
to my life, so wicked ,
to us, near and so alone, ( одиночество вдвоем )
'tis for you, I drink it,


I do...

Thank you:



I modified my translation with your input:

THE LAST TOAST by Anna Akhmatova

I drink to a broken home,
to my life, so wicked ,

All right, my translation is undergoing a metamorphosis:


THE LAST TOAST

I drink to the broken home,
to my life, most wicked ,
to our shared times alone,
and for you, I drink it,
to lies...

Thank you very much. Great Russian poetry!

Thank you for your help.
Does anybody know a site where I can hear this poem recited (audio) ?

Анна Ахматова
ПОСЛЕДНИЙ ТОСТ

Я пью за разоренный дом,
За злую жизнь мою,
За одиночество вдвоем,
И за тебя я пью,-
За ложь меня предавших губ,
За мертвый холод глаз,
За то, что мир жесток...
