Even now the crows and the ravens (даже теперь вороны; crow — ворона, ворон; любая птица черного цвета; raven — ворон) were beginning to sidle in (начинали слетаться /на останки/; to sidle — /под/ходить бочком, украдкой), risking the smoke (несмотря на дым; to risk — рисковать, отваживаться). Prince Corum began to understand what sorrow must be (начал понимать чем горе должно быть = познал, /что такое/ горе; to begin-began-begun; sorrow — горе, печаль). He thought that the emotion he felt was that (он подумал, что чувство, /которое/ он испытывал, было этим = догадался, что это горе; to think; to feel).

doubt [daut] smouldering ['smuldr] skeleton ['skeltn] corpse [k:ps] piece [pi:s]

Prince Corum saw a ruin. It was without a doubt the ruin of Castle Crachah. A smouldering ruin. Fire had brought Castle Crachah down. Fire had eaten her folk, for now Corum, as he rode his snorting horse around the perimeter of the ruins, made out blackened skeletons. And beyond the ruins were signs of battle. A broken Mabden chariot. Some Mabden corpses. An old Vadhagh woman, chopped into several pieces.

Even now the crows and the ravens were beginning to sidle in, risking the smoke. Prince Corum began to understand what sorrow must be. He thought that the emotion he felt was that.

He called out once (он крикнул один раз; to call out — выкрикивать, кричать; вызывать /врача и т. д. /), in the hope that some inhabitant of Castle Crachah lived (в надежде, что кто-нибудь из обитателей замка Крашах жив), but there was no reply (но не было ответа = никто не ответил). Slowly, Prince Corum turned away (принц Корум медленно поехал прочь; to turn away — отворачиваться, уходить). He rode towards the East (он ехал на восток). Towards Castle Sarn (к замку Сарн).

He rode steadily for a week (он скакал без перерыва неделю) and the sense of sorrow remained (и ощущение горя не оставляло его; to remain — оставаться, пребывать в прежнем состоянии) but was joined by another nagging emotion (но к нему присоединилось другое, ноющее чувство; to nag — придираться, изводить; болеть, ныть; nagging pain — ноющая боль). Prince Corum began to think (начал понимать) it must be a feeling of trepidation (/что/ это, должно быть, чувство тревоги; trepidation — трепет, тревога, волнение).
