I'll get up today at dawn early,
I'll wander all the field over.
Something strange I feel with my consciousness:
I remember thoughts not mine totally!

The raindrops are beating cheeks hollow.
For the universe - twenty years - few so.
I was not ascquainted with that guy, neither,
Who had promised: 'I'll return, mother! '

And the spring goes to be long though.
And the ploughed field waits to the good crop.
I am living on this earth cosy
For myself and for that guy, also.

I'm stooping of that weight heavy.
But I can't live other way ever,
When his voice is calling me, loud,
When his song is bringing me a sound.

The steppe grass does smell today bitterly,
And the young winds are all green in color.
We do raise up in the night, and we're hearing
The sound of storm or the echo of previous war.
