Ne hovory, shcho ty, yak vsi –
Ty ne taka, ya znayu, insha,
Nechay odna na vsiy Zemli,
Led'-led' teplisha, led' svitlisha.

I c'oho dosyt' – svit zminyvsya:
Nam staly blyzchi zori y nebo,
I nedarma meni nasnyvsya
Dalekyi shlyach do Andromedy.

I vze ne ya – nechay chtos' inshyi
Vsmichnet'sya radisno na zleti! –
Teplishe led' i led' svitlishe
S'ohodni stalo na planeti!
