Koly zachlynet'sya zozulya peredchuttyam,
Ya viryu: Ty budesh zi mnoyu.

Za spynoyu spleteni palci movchatymut'
Zhribayuchy tin moyu sonnu...

Raptom shchos' obirvet'sya bezbolisno ta y
Letityme vilno i ne chovayuchys'.
I todi pidiyshovshy, vykryknesh:
Te, shcho smichom Tvoyim vpyvalysya,
Te, shcho v spynu Tebe shtovchaly,
Te, shcho bachyv, yak synoyi nochi,
Blukaly nedolya i shchastya, –

Shukayuchy odne odnoho v temryavi,
Plakaly y smiyalysya...

Koly zachlynet'sya zozulya peredchuttyam,
Ya viryu: Ty budesh zi mnoyu.

Za spynoyu spleteni palci movchatymut',
Zhribayuchy tin moyu sonnu...

V paralelnim i chornim prostori,
Tam, de zori plachut' obrazeno,
Zabuvayet'sya vse naviky:
Te, shcho smichom Tvoyim vpyvalysya,
Te, shcho v spynu Tebe shtovchaly,
Te, shcho bachyv, yak synoyi nochi,
Blukaly nedolya i shchastya, –

Shukayuchy odne odnoho v temryavi.
