Examples from texts

From every direction came the sound of the wailing of women whose husbands, sons, and brothers had perished in the battle.
Со всех сторон доносились вопли и жалобные причитания женщин, потерявших в битве мужей, сыновей и братьев.

She heard the upstairs door open and a low wailing moan, wrenched from the depths of agony, came to her ears. Prissy came down the stairs three at a time.
Наверху отворилась дверь, и до Скарлетт долетел протяжный, жалобный, исполненный жестокой муки стон Присси сбежала с лестницы, прыгая через две ступеньки.

Suddenly from out of the distance came a prolonged, resonant, almost wailing sound, one of those inexplicable sounds of the night, which break upon a profound stillness, rise upon the air, linger, and slowly die away at last.
Вдруг, где-то в отдалении, раздался протяжный, звенящий, почти стенящий звук, один из тех непонятных ночных звуков, которые возникают иногда среди глубокой тишины, поднимаются, стоят в воздухе и медленно разносятся наконец, как бы замирая.

And still the sound kept on, the frantic, full-throated wailing of the siren down at the village hall.
А она все выла, вопила во всю мочь, неистово, неумолчно - сирена на здании муниципалитете, вестница тревоги.

Only one voice was wailing, however, that of the older woman: the youthful voice I had heard the day before, and so well remembered, was quite silent; I remember that this was the first thought that came into my mind.
Вопил, впрочем, один голос, именно пожилой соседки, а вчерашний молодой голос, который я слишком хорошо запомнил, - совсем молчал; помню, что мне это, с первой мысли, пришло тогда в голову.

She was sitting on the stone steps, a salt fish of some sort was in her hand; she was crying, wailing something about her luck and beating with the fish on the steps, and cabmen and drunken soldiers were crowding in the doorway taunting her.
Села она на каменной лесенке, в руках у ней какая-то соленая рыба была; она ревела, что-то причитала про свою "учась", а рыбой колотила по лестничным ступеням. А у крыльца столпились извозчики да пьяные солдаты и дразнили ее.

A police car, lights and sirens wailing, tried to bull through the traffic to move toward the disturbance, without much success.

The shrill wailing voice of one of them suddenly reached my ears; I listened; she was intoning a dirge.

The foremost among them cried out in a harsh, creaking voice that Old Sun was dying. The other women echoed her, wailing.
Их вождь хриплым, скрежещущим голосом кричала, что Старое Солнце умирает, остальные вторили ей, как жалобное эхо.

And after that, slowly, mercilessly, with wailing strings and disconsolate blowing of horns, the music began again: this time, a tune to break your heart.
А после этого зарыдали струны и закричали трубы, рождая мелодию, от которой разрывалось сердце.

Millers, who was the other nurse, retired into the house, and by degrees the child's wailing was hushed and stopped, as if it were a young ventriloquist with something in its mouth.
Миллерс, вторая нянька, ушла в дом, и жалобный плач понемногу затих, – видно, и на юного чревовещателя нашлась управа.
