Greetings, I am just in the preliminary stages of learning Russian and I am in need of getting a phrase translated. The full phrase for context is:
The Church is near,
the bar is far,
the road is icy,
I shall walk carefully.

I need either the whole phrase or just the last line "I shall walk carefully" translated.

Thanks in advance!

I shall walk carefully - мне следует идти осторожно

[joliecanard.livejournal.com]

мне следует идти осторожно would be "I should walk carefully". I shall walk carefully would be Я пойду осторожно.

До храма близко,
до кабака далёко,
дорога скользкая,
пойду тихонько.

Funny, first I have thought that you have written "The Church is far, the bar is near..." :)

Церковь близко,
Кабак далеко,
Дорога скользкая,
Пойду осторожно

This one seems to fit the inflection that I'm looking for. Thank you all!

You're welcome :)

>The Church is near

Церковь - рядом.

I shall walk carefully - я вынужден идти осторожно

It's nearly a hokku! ;-)

Церковь близко,
Бар далеко,
На дороге гололёд -
Нужно идти осторожно.

But in fact "кабак" sounds better.

Your translation isn't perfect

Церковь близко, да ходить склизко -
Кабак далеко, да ходить легко.

I mean - the English translation

In fact, it's a Russian proverb

That I was afraid of. I felt that it had to be a proverb that underwent a series of translations. But I could not recognize it, though, after you quoted it, I could see that it was obvious from the beginning. Shame on me. (falls into rage, gets rid of the last remaining hair)
