Anyone lived in a pretty How town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn’t
he danced his did
Women and men
(both little and small)
cared for anyone
not at all
they sowed there isn’t
they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain
children guessed
(but only a few
and down they forgot
as up they grew)
autumn winter spring summer
that noone loved him more and more
when by now
and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy
she cried his grief
bird by snow
and stir by still
anyone’s any was all to her
someones married their everyones
laughed their crying
and did their dance
(sleep wake hope
and then) they
said their nevers
they slept their dream
stars rain sun moon
(and only snow can begin to explain
how children are apt
to forget to remember
with up so floating
many bells down)
one day enyone died i guess
(and noone stopped
to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little
and was by was
all by all
and deep by deep
and more and more
they dreamt their sleep
noone and anyone
earth by april
wish by spirit
if by yes
women and men
(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing
and went their came
sun moon stars rain
Bud-xto z’hyv u harnomu misti Jak
(iz vhoru tekuchymy dzvonamy vnyz)
Vesna, lito, osin’, zyma
Vin spivav svoje Ne
Tanc’uvav svoje Tak
Divchatam i xlopc’am
(malen’kym j malym)
do vsix bulo bajduz’he, vzahali
Posijavshy vlasne Nemaje,
z’haly svoje Take z’h
sonce mis’ac’ zori doshch
I dity vhadaly
(ta zovsim ne vsi -
zabuly unyz,
jak uhoru rosly)
osin’ zyma vesna lito
vse bilshe koxaje joho Nixto
Koly za teper i dereva za lystam
Joho bolem rydala

ptaxa za snihom

Jak dity zabudut zapam’jataty
