I'm running to you, darling,

between the birches so slender, slender, slender.

We are not in a dream, but in reality,

two lovers, free, free.

I'm in a red dress and you,

to dumbness, to hoarseness, you want to hug what you did not want,

to know how the road goes for you for a long, long time.

Like a bird crying, the howl of a child is subtle, subtle.

And when the rain opens the windows in July

you will squeeze my hand, maybe you will understand, we have not fallen asleep, it will, it will be.
