but it's spelled out phonetically in english so i can't translate it on the web so could some one help me translate this:

Apres Moi Le Deluge

Fevral'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!
Pisat' o fevrale navzryd,
Poka grohochushaya slyakot'
Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.

Yes, this is indeed Russian.
Now that I've seen the original text, I can do a better job:
February. Get your ink and cry.
Write about February and sob.
While thundering slush
Burns in the dark springtime.

Comment: "Thundering slush" refers to icicles,
which make a loud "boom" when they fall from a
building and hit the ground.

Hope that does the trick!

"Apres moi le deluge" is French, and means "After me come the floods". It's a famous quote from Kind Louis XV or (possibly) Madame de Pompadour, his mistress.

The poem is Russian by Boris Pasternak.
"February, pick up your pen and weep,
Write poems about february in sobs and ink,
While thunder booming in the background
Is burning in the black of spring."

весною черною горит

I think it totally makes sense:

February. Get you ink and cry,
Cry your heart our writing about February
While dark spring burns up the loud slush
